Without dwelling too much on meanings . . the requiem is very timely
i explained all in a blog years ago
Contact me via myspace if you need further clarification (athenablue)
Anyway the two thousand names I play over has doubled as of this weekend .
It is close to thirty minutes long.

Some lighter relief might be obtained from the opening tune:-
eGYPtiaN FoG

It's fun mix of styles. A clogging script is available LOL

Just finished a mix of FLoaTInG WiTH YuRi
I performed this on 04/12/08 as part of the Yuri's night Celebration

When i was putting the music together for the Yuri's night concert I came across an audio painting I did years ago called "Journey to the final frontier"
(I used part of it as a backdrop to "Journey" on the aTHeNa BLue album "ReTuRN 2 ZeRo"
adding the words
"Take me on a journey
Take me far away
Take me where the music
makes our bodies play")

Floating with Yuri uses the whole 15 minute montage as the backdrop and the voice you hear in various places are snippets of yuri gagarin talking from space
