In the first part of the first suite that opens and gives the title to the famous Pink Floyd album is an area that I was immediately struck since the first Once I heard it. And 'the minute they go about 2:32 to 3:33 (you can listen to the song here , combined with a video which does not correspond to the images that I propose in this post).
After an introduction that I would call semi-strawinskiana, after an orchestral piece of pompous character (with the use of trumpets and horns), after a part of nitrite with horses, gunfire and the roar of motorcycles (which seems to evoke something catastrophic ) after a return of the epic and pompous character who comes here: it is a piece of absolute calm, in which the sound of a cello (or viola?) seems to rise gently in the air, floating off the ground and then suspended losing more weight and more references gravity. The two lines that accompany it (two guitars) seem to drive them from the bottom with smooth, but never touched down, like a magnetic field buffer.

We try to give a philosophical meaning to this short story sound.
