Trading routes that once took caravans months, over treacherous terrains, are now travelled in a matter of hours; Asia and Europe are merely linked by one night’s sleep. "aerial silk roads" depicts this experience of transcontinental travel: sitting by the airplane window, as landscapes of Central Asia silently parade by below. #solo #cello #strings #music #sheetmusic #aerial #silkroad #atmosphere
