Anders Miolin – Ji Wei – 33 Enchanted Strings
A poetic encounter between East and West, 33 Enchanted Strings brings together the delicate, expressive voice of the Chinese guzheng, played by acclaimed artist Ji Wei, and the resonant tones of the unique 12-string DODEKA-guitar by Anders Miolin, in a contemplative, cross-cultural dialogue.
This album bridges centuries and cultures, weaving together Renaissance lute music, Erik Satie’s poetic minimalism, traditional Chinese melodies, and original compositions. At its core lies a shared reverence for subtlety: while Western music often builds through harmonic richness, Chinese art music finds depth in space, silence, and tonal nuance.
Ji Wei’s mastery of the guzheng and deep knowledge of Chinese musical tradition meet Miolin’s innovative artistry and compositional voice. Their collaboration explores beauty through restraint—33 strings resonating in perfect balance between fragility and strength.
Recorded in Beijing after days of immersive rehearsal and nights of inspired composition, 33 Enchanted Strings invites listeners into a refined soundscape where blossoms, ancient poetry, and timeless tones unfold with grace.
