News story, in French, about Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour making a song from the SNCF audio ident…marvellous.

Strangely beautiful…and a kind of music.

This is definitely a kind of music, but I’m looking for this sampled and looped…and turned into something that’s not just a ring-tone.

The starting point for this would be Kraftwerk’s, Trans Europe Express (1976). But there would also also be Micheal Nyman’s, Musique a grande vitesse  (1993),  and Brian Eno’s, Music for Airports (1978), and with Max Richter somewhere too.

And all with a better graphic.

A railroad standard, recorded in 1939 and filmed here, in 1943, on a train…Perfect.

And with wonderful jackets and an easy style. Genius.

Lovely.

Another one, lovely.

Austin Cooper was a tutor at Byam Shaw…and a great poster designer. He was one of the “big five,” offered exclusive contracts by the LNER in the 1920s.

The five poster designers were

Tom Purvis, Frank Newbould, Fred Taylor, Frank mason and Austin Cooper…

Off to the conservation studio now.

Just arrived. Lovely.

Here is Johnny Cash singing along with some lovely old steam trains…Just to get us rolling.
