The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars
“A beautiful piece from 1975. The band that played on the Titanic carried on playing as passengers desperately tried to escape into lifeboats. The musicians in the band all perished and in this moving tribute Bryars imagines the music carrying on all the way to the bottom of the Atlantic.”

The original Obscure records version, still sounds amazing...
Produced by Brian Eno in 1975. The piece is based on the true story of the Titanic's orchestra carrying on playing as the ship slipped beneath the waves. Beautiful and moving.

Because sometimes sinking is the feeling I'm feeling, and that's okay too.
Amazing Grace, as the ship goes down. Wow.
Very excited to be seeing this on Sunday
