Piece based on Lockheed Vega 5B by Adrian Williams (Things Being Various) "I wanted to make a piece that evoked feelings of flight, given the Smithsonian treasure chosen, and to make it light and airy. "I also decided to make it a short piece, to reflect perhaps the take off, or landing of Amelia Earhart's journey. The plane is a long-distance record breaker so rather than make a long piece, I wanted to keep things short." Part of the Smithsonian Treasures project, a collection of new sound works inspired by items from the Smithsonian Museums’ collections - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/smithsonian
