9-11 Sounds of Silence -Tribute by Steve A Disturbed (((MIRROR)))
ping
Everyone remembers events in their own personal way.
When I recall that first few days, weeks after 9/11/2001, I think of other music. One piece was produced in 1982, but still works. It’s called Koyaanisqatsi. The word is from a Hopi Indian tribe and it refers to Life Out of Balance.
It’s an instrumental work, done in minimalist/ classical style by Phillip Glass. It is not a comfortable piece, and there are areas that are strongly dischordant, as was meant to be. The performance both attracts and repels, just like much of life.
Here’s one——-

I remember someone saying very early on the thread that it was probably Al-Qaeda. They were spot on with that one.
I have always linked this piece to 9/11.
I kept the University of Houston classical music radio station on in my office on a small boom box because it was a nice, unobtrusive sound while I was working.
On 9/11, they were mostly bringing in news reports all day. (We also had TVs by the elevator banks in our 3-story building where we gathered and watched things unfold.) The radio station didn’t play much music that day, but right after the announcement that all US airspace was closed, they played this.
