And suddenly, I haven't seen it for 15 years, maybe.

Yeah, some of them are very short.

I think it's more contemplative.

I think it makes you relax into the situation that you're in, whatever that happens to be, presumably in an airport in this case, rather than tries to pretend that you're not in that place.

So my nightmarish form of music is getting on an

a piece of music coming through like this because they haven't got the machine to work properly.

And you have two thoughts then.

You have a thought, they're playing music because they want to stop us thinking about the possibility we might crash.

And secondly, they can't even get the bloody player to work properly.

So we're going to crash.

You know, you can use music as a mask.

which is what is normally done in public situations as a way of covering up the noise.

Or you can use music that invites the noise to sound like it's part of it.

So with all of that kind of music, what I call ambient music, I don't want there to be an edge to the music.

I want it so that you don't know whether some of the things you're hearing are in the world around you or are part of the music.

So I want it not to have a sharp boundary.

I want it to sort of fade out into the rest of the world's noises around you.

Yes.

That's a nice way of putting it, yeah.

So I wanted to make flying feel like a more spiritual experience, if I had to put it into a sentence with a controversial word in it.
