Pink Floyd - Nothing Part 14 (Official Music Video)

50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s ’The Dark Side of the Moon’ celebrated with new box set available March 24. Out now: Pink Floyd’s seminal work ‘Echoes’ was created by the band in a conscious desire to use a freeform jamming approach to composing new material. Accordingly they ended up with more than 20 pieces of music, of which this is one. All the pieces were originally called ‘Nothing’, and the collation therefore ‘Nothing, Parts 1-24’, followed by ‘Son Of Nothing’ and ‘Return of the Son of Nothing;’ before Roger Waters’ lyrics were added and the final work dubbed ‘Echoes’. The famous ‘ping’ at the start of this piece was retained for the final version of Echoes, and was created by running an acoustic piano through a Leslie rotating speaker cabinet, more commonly used in conjunction with a Hammond organ. Credits: Composed by David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters & Richard Wright Produced by Pink Floyd Recorded as part of the ‘Meddle’ sessions, 1971 Animation by Ian Emes Creative Director Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis Aubrey Powell notes: After a chance meeting with Ian Emes he showed me some experimental animated film that he had been working on many years ago in the 1970’s. It had not been seen before and so I decided to try, with a bit of editing by Benny Trickett and some re- telecine restoration, whether it might work with ‘Nothing Part 14’. It somehow fits beautifully into the rhythm of the piece and reflects the brilliant nature of Emes’ imaginative and painstaking animation. He was responsible for the famous Clocks film for ’Time’ and a piece called French Windows for Pink Floyd’s ’One Of These Days’, shown on their famous circular screen. **PINK FLOYD SOCIAL MEDIA** YouTube Instagram Facebook Twitter TikTok Spotify Apple Music #PinkFloyd #NothingPart14 #Meddle
