This is probably the most amazing thing I have ever heard. And the song is one of my favorites. Life is a symphony. So many things happening at once. We should live in a manner that brings a melody about our lives. That melody blends into that of others to create a larger tune. And that blends into a harmony with all things. That is the aim in life. The reason I appreciate music so much is because it is a glimpse into the very harmony. Music is an example of pure existence. It is the voice of God.
The audience was so reserved, in my opinion. Watching Eric play the piano like that, playing with all of his heart, it just makes you want to jump up, put your hands in the air, dance, and when he finishes people should be yelling, "bravo!!!" I guess I really enjoyed the performance! lol.
If memory servers, in 2011 Elew was in his first audition on AGT; the day after, Josh Groban producers contacted him and invited him to tour with Groban and Elew dropped out of the show. Amazing pianist.
Amazing would be an understatement. I was actually looking for the vid when Dave Matthews was watching him play..then BOOM here comes Elew on a TED platform...
Thank you to Eric and Eric. I feel like ELEW wants to convey much much more than he's able to on the piano. The limiting factor is the instrument itself. But what's he's able to convey with the piano is already much much more than what most people can do.
This is phenomenal. Loving it. I feel something to be missing after 3:33 and before 3:59; 5:19-5:21 seemed a little weird too (maybe a different tune I was expecting?). But man...amaaazing.
This is ridiculous. Sounds like what it feels like to be floating on the breath of angels while warm colored laser beams are gently colliding across the sky
Eric Weinstein sent me
Went through the portal didn't you?
Just watched Eric Weinstein interview also.. can't stop listening to him. This is true genius. Total respect and love for Elew..
Will Smith's book led me here. Oh my! The passion and beauty of this genius and his music made me cry. Thank you.
Me toooo 🙏🏽
This is what a brilliant idea sounds like.
Eric Weistein sent me. Please check out his podcast The Portal

The Portal*

Which episode
I don’t think I have ever heard a piano sound or feel like it’s being played as a guitar. Masterful!
I had the pleasure of working with this cat some 15 years ago. Not only a brilliant musician but a beautiful man.
Underrated and under-viewed

Thanks goes out to Eric Weinstein for cluing me in.
Yes thanks to Eric Weinstein for me too!
He played with the Marcus Miller Quartet yesterday in Harlem and blew everyone's minds!

your opinion doesn matter to anyone , and its not a rock concert asshole

it feels like food
If one of those strings snap, won't he lose his hand? 17-20 tons of tension... Pretty ballsy for a guy who makes a living with his fingers.
Palm muting a piano, yup, im all in on this
WHOS ERIC WEINSTEIN
Honestly, I was just looking for the guy who went missing, but... Hey....
Eric sent me too
what are those dials hes controlling in the back
Not dials, he's muting the piano strings
How tf
This is ridiculous. Sounds like what it feels like to be floating on the breath of angels while warm colored laser beams are gently colliding across the sky
He has no equal.
I would wear bracers too if I were putting my hands inside a piano. That lid scares me.
Will Smith got me here. Brilliant. Both.
Interesting - playing the piano like a guitar - reminds me of Stanley Jordan playing guitar like a piano. 🎹
Will Smith’s book “Will” brought me here. GO READ NOW!!!!
It’s like watching a movie w my ears
Will Smith sent me and I'm very happy about it.
