This music has very little to do with a helicopter sound.
The title refers to “the rising”,
up into the “sky”,
and look down to get an overview
on what happens “down there”.
Sometimes it’s better
to look from that position.
To understand the systems,
the mechanisms that influence eachother,
how all details together are part of the All.
And still,
a helicopter can’t rise
high enough
to full understanding.
Because it can be
a paradise for the ears and
a source for the imagination.
Music, voices, soundscapes.
More than once I listen to discussions.
And I hear the chaos in a discussion
that starts and grows

their characters and opinions.
Here’s a musical interpretation
of a discussion I heard today.
About the countless refugees
on their dangerous and painful voyage;
crossing the Mediterranian Sea
from Africa and Asia
to the continent of Europe…
