The power of a typhoon, juxtaposed with the serenity of Catherine Brisset and her glass keyboard.


Many of you loved the mysterious music of Catherine Brisset and her cristal Baschet, seen with Aurora in an earlier movie.

Now, an interesting reprise: Same music, but now with Typhoon Nepartak over the South China Sea. Immensely powerful and dangerous, yet surprisingly serene from above.

French musician Catherine Brisset plays the cristal Baschet, a unique glass keyboard with fanciful metal shapes to help the mysterious sounds resonate. Here, she plays a variation on Bach’s Sonata #2, the Grave movement, with such subtle and emotive touch.

Earth movie artfully photographed by astronauts on ISS 48, July 7, 2016.

Sadly, about 200 people died and $1.9 billion damage in China, Taiwan and the Phillipines.

Please love and care for Earth.
