In the course of history, when empires collapse and are lost to memory, their ruins are many times believed to have been the work of giants. This photo, taken in the Central Bohemia region of the Czech Republic, suggests such a scenario in an abandoned construction left behind with the fall of the Soviet Union.
It also provides the inspiration for a work of atmospheric music currently being developed by the Black Mountain School project, in keeping with the sound and content of the previous albums.
The content of the classical tone poem is designed conceptually and musically to suggest such ideas and events, and to encourage the listener to imagine them. Among numerous examples are Debussy's La Mer, Finlandia by Sibelius, and An American In Paris by Gershwin.
Clearly, electronic ambient music lends itself to similar, if modest and minimalistic, applications.
