About
"The sound of a train in the distance on a quiet beautiful morning makes me think of possibility and freedom. But I was thinking about how others may hear something different, or it might not be a positive association for everyone, depending on how free you are, or what's truly possible. In the old days I had an idea of America and its wide open spaces as a place where people were free and everything was possible. Maybe it still is and maybe it never was. "There's a little musical sound, some kind of alarm maybe, that I brought into the piano part. The sound isn't quite tuned to the notes of the piano, and you can hear it in slightly different keys, and as major or minor. I tried to build on that sound to create a thread through the music, but use the ambiguity it creates to allow a couple of changes of direction, between uncertainty, hopefulness, and melancholy." Savannah Garden City soundscape reimagined by Andrew Hayes.
