Soundscape for Richard Wright (July 23 1945 - Sept. 15 2008)

[Scott M2]

I wasn't sure if this should be posted under music or visuals - but in the heart it's about the music.

A year ago today, on September 15th, 2008, Richard Wright,
keyboard and synth player for Pink Floyd passed away.

dreamSTATE was scheduled to play an AMBiENT PiNG concert
later that week (with Eric Hopper & General Chaos Visuals).
I suggested that we play our opening piece as an homage to Rick,
who had been an important early inspiration for us, and all agreed.
I fashioned a "ping" on my Korg Kaossilator to begin and we winged it from there.

The concert was filmed by Jeff Howard & additional footage
was later taped of the moon & water (Rick loved to sail)
so that in the last week I was able to create a video
in honour of this anniversary of Rick's passing.

We hope that you enjoy the piece and that it may inspire reveries
or memories of Richard Wright, a wonderful and sensitive musician
who was, perhaps, not fully appreciated in his time. Here is the direct link:
