Description

During the time I was making these images I listened to music in order to lighten the gloom and depression.

I found Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time when I was listening to BBC Radio 3.

He wrote it for the available instruments when he was a prisoner of war.

An odd combination of clarinet, violin, cello, and piano.

I found it beautiful but also appropriate. I played it almost every day.
