Dark Side of the Moon

Music and aviation might seem like a strange combination, but in fact there are many overlaps, many ways they complement each other: Think Pink Floyd’s Learning to Fly, or the Music in the Air festival at Middle Wallop where aircraft fly to the rythmn of music, and become part of the performance, or the Belgian musician Bruno Misonne, who like Karlheinz Stockhausen uses sounds from flight in his music. Here the beauty of flight is celebrated in sound.

We asked Bruno Misonne a few questions about his motivation in bringing together music and aviation.

HL: I see that you are a pilot or student pilot, was it that that made you want to include aviation sounds in your music, or was it that like Stockhausen you had a dream of merging daily sounds into music?...
