Search - John Ranger :: Sailing In Space

Dream of distant places, sailing out onto the universe on giant solar wings. Find silent playgrounds on waves of light. Hear unearthly sounds like a piano on the moon. Float down gravitational fields towards Neptune, not knowing what is waiting, watching other worlds disappear behind you. Pass Pluto in solitude and loneliness in search of universal truth, following your dreams seven billion miles from the Sun, on to infinity. John Ranger's wonderful "Sailing in Space" fantasy comes alive, lifting you into starflight. The work includes the original instrumental version of "Piano on the Moon", which became a Grammy nominated song as recorded by Fredrick Doci, the lyric by Norman Kenner, which is paraphrased above. John Ranger, the French Canadian composer, arranger, keyboard-synthesist, created this recording on the T1 Korg Keyboard Triton Extreme. Starting in the late 60's Ranger has made many recordings including two by the critically acclaimed 16 piece band Illustration, which he co-founded in 1971. Both "Illustration" and the latest reissue, "Man Made" are available on the Iris Music Group label.
