Train

Train: a video by Hamish Reid.

A Fly-By I made recently from a raw clip I actually took a few years ago (2020) in the Mojave desert. The soundtrack’s an excerpt from György Ligeti’s Lux Aeterna, performed by Cappella Amsterdam & Daniel Reuss (2008). The soundtrack’s supposed to give the whole thing an ethereal tinge as a counter to the more angular and rough surfaces, colours, and geometries of the train and its surroundings, but I could have gone the other way instead, and tried a much more Industrial track (from the usual suspects) before I settled on Lux Aeterna (one of my fave Ligeti pieces).
