300 Burning Pianos Hurtling Through the Cosmos (Glastonbury Tor)

by Woodchester Piano Company

/

about

Glastonbury Tor. The Ancient Isle of Avalon. King Arthur. Hippies. Whatever your association, Glastonbury Tor is special. For me it’s home. Always they’re reaching up from the horizon. When I was a teenager and getting into music one of my favourite places to go was a shop called Gothic Image on Glastonbury High Street. It was full of books about art and myths and legends and sound healing and space and the cosmos and the future and the past. And they played records that sounded like you were floating in space by bands like @tangerinedream and @official.kitaro. I returned home last summer and shot this as I climbed the Tor on a perfect evening. I recorded the music when I had Covid. I couldn’t concentrate on anything but I found I could make super cosmic New Age music. I wanted the sound of floating in space but with added meteorites rushing by so I cycled up to a lay-by on the A27 and pressed record as cars and trucks rushed by me, went home and added it to the track and that’s it. I’ve called the track “300 Burning Pianos Hurtling Through the Cosmos” as a nod to the Bentley piano pyre of 1932 where 300 unsold pianos were burned in a giant bonfire.
