The Gaye Device - The Love Which Moves The Sun & Other Stars

from Inferno by Cities and Memory

/

about

Jerusalem created by The Gaye Device.

"The final part of the journey of Dante reaching Jerusalem and Paradise and looking out on to the universe inspired me to write this composition.

"Are we all looking for our own idea of paradise? How do we reach that and in what way, is it physical or mental, is it even important? This is a part of a personal journey using tones to induce an almost transcendental state of mind. Trying to reach a level of consciousness where calmness and serenity is akin to being in paradise through music.

"Paradoxically, the Jerusalem in Heaven has created its earthly opposite. The earthly state is forever seen as a jumbled puzzle, whose pieces may be shuffled into perfection.
Century by century, men find only limited perfection and temporary ends, and by these must redeem themselves in the face of whatever God is listening.

"The track was created by using fragments of sampled acoustic instruments, stretched to form slowly evolving meditative tones and harmonics layered and phased to create an aural soundscape which can be used for any form of meditative relaxation to reach a state of personal paradise.

"Track written and composed by Andrew Howden."
