To Recap on the above;

Loved Thomas Bergersen, Allegro, so cinemagraphic.
Here's one that makes me imagine helicoptering over the Cambodian jungle towards angkor wat.
The voices in the intro are the Choir of the Cambodian Royal Palace.

Here's another favorite Norwegien;

^^ Hi there, KUAN! Glad you liked the Bergerson.

I too attempted to post the KETIL BJØRNSTAD / THE SEA video, but it’s unavailable in the U.S.

Let me know if I didn't follow your lead with “helicoptering over the Cambodian jungle.” I thought “Above the Treetops” from ‘Secret Story’ by Pat Metheny might’ve been the right video :).



^ That is really beautiful. Thank You!

From Youtube notes, here’s more about the music titled “Above the Treetops”...
    from Secret Story (1992), from the world ....
    composed by Pat Metheny
    Based on the traditional Cambodian hymn “Buong Suong”

    Musicians:
    Pat Metheny: acoustic guitars, all synths
    Charlie Haden: acoustic bass
    Naná Vasconcelos: percussion
    Armando Marçal: percussion
    Members of the London Symphony Orchestra
    Conducted by Jeremy Lubbock

Yeah, well, it's above the tree tops for Cambodia but the rest of the album takes the flight to other places, and the Helicopter is silent...
This one's from ' Prelude '

^^ Thanks, KUAN :). The music for the following video is also a composition by Ketil Bjørnstad for cello and piano.

See YOUTUBE NOTES. The video maker added the soundtrack to photos and videos that were shot during vacationing near Lyseboth Lysefjord, Norway.

Stunning Aurora Video: Polar Spirits

Postby Allegro » Wed Apr 17, 2013 1:20 pm

Refer to Ole C. Salomonsen’s two other vimeo’s. The music for the video below was composed by Peter Nanasi, and, honestly, I thought the music was as beautifully stunning as the visuals :).

Stunning Aurora Video: Polar Spirits
Universe Today, Nancy Atkinson | April 16, 2013



    This year, there have been some epic auroral displays, and astrophotographer Ole C. Salomonsen has just released this new video which includes real-time recordings of these “polar spirits.”

    “My main focus is on getting the auroras [to] show as close as possible to real-time speed given the time available in a short video,” Salomonsen wrote on Vimeo. “In the film I have tried to show the slower majestic dancing lights, as well as the more faster, dramatic and abstract shows, and finally the auroras in combination with city lights and urban elements.”

    Simply stunning, and if you watch closely on the opening sequence you can actually see some whales breaching out in the fjord!
