Music Of The Spheres
Pantha Du Prince “Bohemian Forest”
The brightest notes in this piece all sound like circles to me. Spheres in three dimensions, floating on their own, or in clusters of bubbles through the air. It’s almost impossible for me to hear this any other way, though the title suggests a dark, dense landscape for the circles. Maybe it’s like glowing orbs hovering through the woods at night, like unknown, otherworldly insects. You could see it, and it would seem peaceful and beautiful, but a little uncomfortable and vaguely menacing because you’d have no idea what it is.
