00:00It's just great to be back. It's so nice to be building cellos again in their, you know, in
00:14their natural environment. That's where it all came from. Places like this, high places, cold places.
00:21You know, the cellos are this harvesting of the winter cold and the winter snow. You can't make
00:28this down below because you don't have those, the winter environment, which is where they
00:33come from. They're a child of the winter environment.
00:38In Bella Vista, it's like the classic origin hut up in the mountains. I think it was built
00:45in 1896 or something, long time ago. And it's got that feeling like, yeah, this is that safe
00:56spot in this wild, incredibly wild location up here. I think the audacity to build a place
01:03up here at the pass, right at the top of the Alps where the wind is screaming either this
01:07way or that way. It's a bold move. And the, you know, I, I, I admire the lifestyle choice
01:17of these guys who run it to like, yeah, we live up there. That's our thing. Okay. So here
01:22we are at the Bella Vista, uh, refugee and we're working in the snow cat garage over here.
01:29Um, you can see our toes in the back and the snow cat we're in here because, uh, when the,
01:35when the wind blows up here, it's could be a hundred kilometers an hour and it's just crazy
01:41weather. So in order to be able to have a safe place, we're inside together with the snow
01:46cats where they, uh, where they live where we're currently in what I call the frisante revolution.
01:53Uh, you know, it was a few years back. I discovered the use of frisante, uh, uh, bubble water in
02:02with the snow instead of just regular natural water. And, uh, and that opened up a whole new
02:08possibilities. So, um, it's a new exploration, a period of exploration, find out how, what does
02:14this mean? What is this, how's it going to make the instruments evolve in, in a new way,
02:19which is in still within the natural ice, you know, the, the exploration of ice itself and,
02:27and, you know, introducing all those little tiny mains of bubbles is, is could very open
02:33up the voice of the ice more in a way that we didn't, didn't do before.
02:37Hey, you know, if you're in Baltano or Trento or anywhere in the neighborhood and you want
02:57to see probably once in a lifetime chance, the ice cello in the hands of an absolute master,
03:04this is the time to go do it.
