about

Inspired by the sensation of flying in a small helicopter, or watching a helicopter pass whilst remaining "tied to the ground".

Based on a repeating rhythmic motif made with feathers, and taken up by piano, drums, and other percussion. Overlayered with a chorus of doppler-shifted metal horns, organ pipes and bagpipe reeds.

The title is from the apocalyptic spoken-word piece ‘The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole’ by Captain Beefheart:

'[...] The pole was a horrible looking thing / With all of those eyes and ears / And waving hands for balance / There was no way to get a copter in close / So everybody was starving together [...]'

(Extract © Don Van Vliet 1982)
