After seeing Ambre Ciel at a sold out show at the Elbphilharmonie last Saturday, today I met her at a living room concert in Berlin, performing in front of 30 people and a cat.
Quite the contrast. Her performance tonight was better, but the sound was significantly worse (no surprise there).
We had a nice chat and shared a glass of wine after the concert too.
I had an amazing time taking my Dad for a lifetime experience to the #elbphilharmonie last Saturday experiencing #Gondwana Records' yearly concert. The Ancient Infinity Orchestra and Ambre Ciel put on an amazing performance, and Chip Wickham killed it.
I was amazed how crisp the drums sounded in the space, and nuances of Chip's alto flute caused goosebumps. A perfect evening.
PS. All three artists can be found on bandcamp. Start with Ambre Ciel; I'm going to see her again in Berlin on Friday.
