Theatre Of Delays - Cosmic Blaze

---

Cosmic Blaze is probably the only disco-track I ever made. It’s based on the chord-sequence in Chic’s “Good Times”. The guitar-riff and vocals have been used by countless hip-hop-acts and house-dj’s. There have been also a lot covers of this song as well. Some of you might know these guys ;-)

But the part I have been particularly interested in was the underlying chords played by the piano. That was a good place to start. Some Arpeggios as usual, synth-bass and a simple 4/4 Beat, that's it.

On top of I used the “Star Gate Sequence” from the movie “2001 - A Space Odyssey” by Stanley Kubrick in my video-clip for the track:

The most interesting thing about the “Star Gate Sequence” is how it was made. There has been no CGI and Special-Effects like we know it these days in 1968.

That's what Wikipedia says about it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:A_Space_Odyssey(film)

“The Star Gate sequence was one of many ground-breaking visual effects. It was primarily for these that Stanley Kubrick won his only personal Academy Award.
The colored lights in the Star Gate sequence were accomplished by slit-scan photography of thousands of high-contrast images on film, including Op art paintings, architectural drawings, Moiré patterns, printed circuits, and electron-microscope photographs of molecular and crystal structures. Known to staff as "Manhattan Project", the shots of various nebula-like phenomena, including the expanding star field, were colored paints and chemicals swirling in a pool-like device known as a cloud tank, shot in slow-motion in a dark room.[96] The live-action landscape shots in the 'Star Gate' sequence were filmed in the Hebridean islands, the mountains of northern Scotland, and Monument Valley. The coloring and negative-image effects were achieved by the use of different color filters in the process of making duplicate negatives.”

Have fun listening to my track, TT
