Is there anyone here who does not understand Swedish?

Okay, it was about 20 years ago when I built my first ice musical instrument on top of a mountain. I tightened the strings, and I plucked on the wires, and I heard the sound coming out from inside the instrument. I was so excited by what I heard that I put on my skis, I skied all the way down to the village, and I told them what had happened to me and how excited I was. They pretty much thought I was a c.

Well, on that day, I sort of had a dream—a vision of what could one day become. Welcome to my dream.

The ice instrument is made of frozen water; we are made of melted water. That physical connection opens the door for a spiritual connection. For me, when I listen to an ice instrument, it just makes me happy.

It's one thing to build an ice instrument; it's another thing to maintain it and use it throughout time. The ice is always sublimating away into the atmosphere. Players get up next to the instruments. You got hot bodies next to cold instruments, and they're melting. The audience walks in; suddenly the temperature rises because they're breathing.

In that case, the strings on the stringed instruments begin to get softer, and the tuning, the pitch, goes down on string instruments. On the pipe instruments, for instance, the rolandone, the tubes in the xylophone, and so on, those begin to go up. So, you've got the orchestra going in different directions.

It took me quite a while, really, to understand that all of the tuning and all the complete disaster was because of the temperature fluctuation. That eventually led me to realizing that I need to build my own architecture that can ventilate the heat from the audience away from the orchestra. That's how we came to the basic design of the concert hall that we have with the two domes, which accommodates for letting out the heat of the audience and keeping the instruments cool.

You know, I think of magic. Really, the definition for me of magic is unbelievable but happening. And I think that in the long run, is the Kaboom possibility for ice music to really affect the world—the people of the world—in this release of really joy when your disbelief dissolves, without a s, or dance.

So I say thank you for the music for giving it to me.

Thank you for tonight. Have a lovely evening.
