Bonobo heard Anna Lapwood rehearse on the 9.999 pipe organ after a consert in Royal Albert Hall, and asked her to play along in their final performance, Well worth while seeing the full clip, and reading the background story, and more. Also, check out her instagram @annalapwoodorgan , a cool gal with a very cool job, sick skills, and such a positive being!

I would love to hear her play the John Wanamaker pipe organ in Philadelphia
anyofmany
a real shame they hide most of those magnificent instruments in those pointy buildings

I was at the 2nd show of that run. Hearing the intro to Kiara played by a group of violins was a truly hair-raising experience
Inarticulated
Okay I thought she handled the lights at first and read "Lampwood" and thought "Oh, that's a fun lil' coincidence
shadowise
Got to hear her play some music from Interstellar the last time I was at the Royal Albert Hall. Really amazing.

And here I thought "bonobo" was a type of primate.

Performance. That's what I meant to say. Performance, not "thing." Thanks, brain.

Wait, there is a artist named Bononbo, not like the U2 singer but like the ape?
CountDookie23
Oscar nominated artist. Fragments is a really good album.
psyched91
Yes and they make awesome music 😁
eprankster
Yep... Since 1999. Amazing musician

Normally you shouldn't let the audience see you counting while performing, luckily her back was turned and only the camera seen it ;)
LazerusK
I mean she only heard the song for the first time 36hrs beforehand, cut her some slack! XD
Germhole
Very gig specific too, if it were for a formal symphony performance vs/ more or less a Rave (and I love me a good Rave) ;)
jgjgjgjgjgjgjg
I honestly thought she would play Phantom of the Opera when I heard the first few notes.
MiHaleEsSuHale
A classic. The story of a deformed frenchman in search of love. Truly one of a kind

I thought it was the intro for a qlimax show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzs3-LXs0_o&t=103s

I just hear Hans Zimmer - No Time For Caution from Interstellar any time I hear organs now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3zvVGJrTP8
smithincanton
They invited her to play and then ran away and wrote a part for her! I can't imagine the rush when the crowd cheered!
Bonchoman
Her smile speaks volumes
nozel
Thank God it was not
Sprinx
Agreed, it would be like having a guest guitarist who played Stairway or Smoke on the Water
DeeDoubleYu
Bonobo were the best live act I've ever seen, big recommend.
HeatherHobbit
She has an album coming out! Cornfield Chase from Interstellar was released as a teaser. She is such a lovely human.
SamuraiChemist
Bonobo disbanded?
FailedCrate
Good thing their music will continue to be around.
Wholivesinapineappleunderthetree
Bonobo is a man - Simon Greene
lljkstonefish
Isn't he that guy from u2?
Archaon6044
No, it was the last show of a run of 3 or 4 nights. Bonobo has release new tracks in the last couple of months
SamuraiChemist
Thank you sir or madame!

I would have lost my shit being at that concert. I regularly watch that video. Just love how they put a quick part together for her.
ZephyrusAsmodeus
That is.. unbelievably cool, I can't imagine being there in person for that, the video alone was chilling, that must have felt incredible

Anna Lapwood is the bees knees. Big interview here, cued to the part about the Bonobo gig: https://youtu.be/2MLTJinVIPs?t=1475
Bonchoman
Cool! Love what she says about how music is much more than just classical! I'll share the link, thanks!
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
oh hey, I'm glad you liked it!
Dzuha
Next time she should play brass bonanza.
ImgurPlz
She's so heckin cute and crazy talented. Been following her IG for a while.
VenomousFangs
Something about how you connect words together breaks my brain.
Bonchoman
I'm just a norwegian, doing my best
DavidHoag
Bonobo is one of my favorite musical artists of all time. He holds the throne with Thievery Corporation and Blockhead. Legends.
deject3000
No joke I legit get goosebumps when I hear the organ hit every time I watch that video. Wish I had been in the audience for that.
Volimar
WTF bro?
foreverlurking19
Why is this now becoming viral? The YouTube video is 9 months old.
Bonchoman
I never saw it before today
quixotegut
Hans Zimmered that shit.
shitheadtookmyname
It's her name Melissa bc i would Dudamel
aPokal
This is funny in German because it works. "Zimmer" means room. A maker of rooms, a carpenter, is a "Zimmerer". It is used as a
aPokal
verb too. So a "Hans rooomed that shit" makes enough sense.
RoutemasterFlash
And weirdly enough, it's cognate with the English word 'timber'.
Bonchoman
She's got some pipes!
SpaceballsTheComment
That's actually the same organ that's used in his Interstellar soundtrack.
TurboPuns21
Interstellar soundtrack was actually Temple Church, London. But Anna has played cornfield chase in Roy.Alb.Hall and it sounds just as good

I think that organ cost more than 9 dollars and 99 and 9/10ths cents.
Phazoner
We can offer 200 libs of pennies
kingkongkeom
I'll offer 10 dollars then...
ReturnWinchester
Fun fact: 0.9¢ is 9 mills. The U.S. did establish official denominations less than 1¢.
Hemelsblauw
It's a European point, not an American. 9.999 euros equals 9999 euros.
Calculussucks
brambleramble
it also happens to be the type of joke that doesn't always play well in text
PopTrogdor
It's £9.99. US Dollar isn't the only currency in the world!
98oktan
Prices like that would put the organ mafia out of business!
geekykeycap
It probably doesn't use many cents, I bet it's pretty precisely tuned to intervals ;)

The one thing U.S. measuring systems do right is how we do our decimal places.
