This is great flying music! I also want to listen to this next time at the airport instead. It might make that part of the experience more whimsical and less harrowing.
Fabulous post, music, and reduction, Peter!! Reminded me of a song by the Weepies, “Painting By Chagall”, though the song probably references “Bouquet with Flying Lovers”...
Thanks to this track, I better understand what ekphrastic means and what it can be. Before I listened to this, I couldn’t resist thinking about Brian Eno’s “Ambient 1: Music for Airports.” Which is still appropriate for your piece: capturing an ambience, not to mention that Mellotron and Wurlitzer sounds amid your jaunty reggae-rock would have made sense to Eno too.
“Fun” fact: “Teen Titans Go!” has a wicked deconstruction of that Invisible Jet in “Two Parter (Part Two)”!
Pure joy. With just a slight edge of fear. You captured it. I fly a lot. And it mostly involves going to see my beloved Natalie or flying somewhere with her -- so the the connection with Chagall and his beloved Bella is also palpable. And this feels a lot like how that flying makes me feel. The Strawberry Fields connection is lovely and there's a ratta-tat-tat at 1:30 that I really like, too.
Great one, enjoyed it all. Glad you pointed out the little guy squatting- ha!
Heheh...
Yes!

Anything to make flying less harrowing.

We're a tight knit bunch, those of us writing music about Marc Chagall. ;)
What a love story. All of it.

Anytime you want to compare me to Brian Eno is fine with me. I don’t think my last name will show up in as many crossword puzzles though!

Thanx so much for the close listening! Had a lot of fun with this one.
Yea I enjoyed this one! I really loved the rhythm section here, very interesting.
Thanks so much!
