Venice 1978 (Live)

about

(including end theme: Dream Across the Universe)

Ondes, ever the multi-instrumentalist, brought out his wah-pedal-driven Strat for the Venice set. We weren’t sure how to fit an electric guitar into a synth landscape, but he pulled it off nicely. Of course, he still had his other synth duties to fulfill, thus the Taurus Pedals. And when it comes to the end theme, one might be tempted to think that the lyrics were inspired, again, by Ram Dass. But in this case it was science, not spirituality, that was the inspiration. In Carl Sagan’s 1973 book The Cosmic Connection he first writes “We are made of star-stuff.” All of us. It was this sentiment that drove the cosmic text of the end theme. And, of course, I had to do something with that new vocoder I just bought!

It was serendipity again that would bring the inspiration of Vangelis and Sagan together just a couple of years later in the Cosmos television series.

lyrics

dream across the universe
escape the curse
of time

breathe in where you stand
and put your hand
in mine

we will travel far
watch the stars
unwind

life is just the start
we’re all one heart
one mind
