Images viaPianist Stefan Aaron is taking the art of concert piano to new heights—the kind of heights only achievable with a helicopter. The fourth stop in his worldwide Orange Piano Tour—in which he travels with the eponymous orange piano and plays it in increasingly bizarre locations—was the Munich Airport in Germany, where he premiered the song Munich Airport Soca. His helicopter-powered entrance was the most appropriate way possible to kick off an airfield show, besides riding atop an actual jet.

His Orange Piano Tour has taken him to the top a glacier of the Alphubel mountain in Switzerland, the Great Wall of China, and the Preikestolen in Norway. Prior, he cut his Internet teeth in 2009 with a semi-viral music video about his stagnant love life, titled I Never Find My Soul Mate. Maybe he can double down and combine his crooning with the skyward act and develop a reputation as the Billy Joel of the clouds.The surreal image of the bright orange piano atop a steel flying carpet back dropped by a cloud has been zooming around the web, from the Toronto Star to the BBC. These photos capture the impressive combination of music and engineering. The Latin-infused synth jam is more than a little uplifting—and not just because the pianist is airborne.
