Villads Hoffmann - Dansen Ungdom (live from my father's violin workshop)
I love playing music in my father's violin workshop. The scent of wood and the resonance from the many instruments around feels quite special.
In January, I dropped by the workshop with my good friend and talented photographer Ivan Boll. He filmed some of the music from my latest solo album. Here, I play my favorite slängpolska from Sweden - "Dansen Ungdom."

Penny Pascal - An Evening in Warsaw (Polish Delicacies and Danish Tourist Attractions)
Переглядів 1962 роки тому
For their second concert ever(!) Penny Pascal were invited to play at the beautiful and prestigious Warsaw Philharmonic in Poland. Continuing their usual ‘modus operandi’ the band wrote completely new music to be performed for the first and only time for the polish audience. The music is in two ‘movements’ with the first drawing inspiration from common traditional Danish dance types, while the ...

Villads Hoffmann - Live Session on the Tram in Gothenburg
Переглядів 9453 роки тому
There is something almost magical about Gothenburg at night. The city lights and the restless trams driving around. It reminds me of a Miyazaki film and scenes from New York in the 70's at the same time. I took a tram ride from the central station to the end station and played some pieces from my new album Flaskepost På Himlen. Enjoy the trip. Camera and sound: Samuel Lundh Edit and mix: Villad...

      Mine is tuned CFCGC, so a bit different to the quatro, which is tuned in fourths all the way, if i am not mistaken. But my two lowest courses are toned in octaves as well. So there are definitely some similarities ☺
