FAQs with the rigging crew at the Royal Albert Hall!

This was one of my favourite overnights because the rigging crew were SO inquisitive and had so many brilliant questions!! Still figuring out YT short time limits... but I promise I did play for them eventually...! #Organ #Organtok #Pipeorgan #Interstellar #interstellartok #hanszimmer #soundtrack #royalalberthall #filmmusic #midnightsessions #annalapwood

Awww it cut off at the best bit

[@cottonbrad]

I’m struck by the immediate change as soon as you hit that first note! All smiles and giggles to a “this is now serious business” face!

[@joshkarpoff3341]

As a professional stagehand and audio tech, I love that you take time out of your practice time, in the middle of the night, to answer questions and take requests from the folks on the overnight crew call. Overnight calls are always tough and grueling, so it goes a long way to making it just a bit more bearable.

Oh it was so much fun seeing your entire body's physicality change as you entered playing mode! You went from speaking to dancing

[@318lovejones]

These guys have the best job in the world.

This is easily my favorite thumbnail from all your videos!
“CHEATING??” 😤

[@sunline24]

Way too short. We wanted to hear you play too!

[@susanne5803]

I miss these bits so much: Thank you very much for sharing!

[@jeffk1482]

Indeed, the shorts of her late-night escapades are my favorite!

[@CA999]

Oh!? Where is the rest? 😢

[@shum139]

At least, Anna has a full version of this melody, recorded 1 year ago th-cam.com/video/hJjWMt9HI30/w-d-xo.html

[@adrianjenkins2447]

But seeing those guy’s reactions being that close to it as Anna performed would have been awesome

[@shum139]

@@adrianjenkins2447 yeah, that's true

It’s just before the copyright strike. No royalties paid here!

Fun visit from the rigging crew!

For a better view of that pencil: th-cam.com/video/hJjWMt9HI30/w-d-xo.html
Note that you can't actually hear the notes until the registration changes activating the upper manual. Nice technique!

[@daanwilmer]

That is so clever! Thanks for pointing this out

[@CorM58]

God I wish I could be there with them...

[@ianross04]

If I could request a track for you Anna, it would be 'Awaken' by the old progRock group calles 'Yes'. Pllleeeeease do this cover!

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

I'd love to see where the pencil is placed. I'm very curious!

[@MtnNerd]

I've watched her live. It's that one really long note that plays at the beginning and continues all throughout the piece

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

@MtnNerd but what is the pencil used for? To hold down a key/button?

[@MtnNerd]

@@Matt_Hatt3r It holds down the key that plays that specific note

[@sw5334]

Her video ‘No time for caution’ you get a glimpse of the keyboard and on the top row of keys you can see she has 2 pencils holding 2 keys down. Looks like she must press the key then jamb the pencil in to hold it.

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

@sw5334 that makes sense. Thanks for the reference and explanation!

[@wackywankavator]

Yay, requests? Yes's Closer to the Edge. I would love to hear Yes play in a church with a proper church organ. 😭

[@marketto2007]

Per favore il continuo

Ugh!!!!!
