It’s time for Mike Oldfield Release! Stay tuned for Music of the Spheres
British multi instrumental musician Mike Oldfield will release his next new age album Music of the Spheres on March 7th 2008 at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. As part of the launch event, Mike Oldfield will perform from his new album ‘Music of the Spheres’ accompanied by the Euskadi Symphonic Orchestra and the Bilbao Choral Society.
Mike Oldfield himself explains the core concept and behind-the-screen definition of his Music of the Spheres.
“In this world, everything has a pulse or a vibration. This sound is unique to each living or non living thing and in itself creates a music that no-one can hear. I believe that this has a very powerful resonance with, and a deep effect, on our lives. What would happen if we took this further and apply this to bigger things; more powerful things; like an entire solar system or galaxy say, what would that sound like?
Musica Universalis is the ancient theory that every celestial body, the sun, the moon and the stars has an inner music. This is a harmonic and mathematical concept derived from the movements of the planets in the solar system. The music created is inaudible to the human ear.
Music of the Spheres is my interpretation of this theory. Every planet and every star; even the whole universe has music within it that no-one can hear, this is what it would sound like if it was set free. This is Music of the Spheres.”
