The Avro Lancaster is a British Second World War heavy bomber. It was designed and manufactured by Avro as a contemporary of the Handley Page Halifax, both bombers having been developed to the same specification, as well as the Short Stirling, all three aircraft being four-engined heavy bombers adopted by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the same wartime era.
In 1943 the Lancaster was part of a raid over the ruhr area with the aim of suppressing the region's industrial output. A lot of civilian were terrorized both by the nazis and the bombing. So were part of my family who died during the bombing of Duisburg. The Lancaster project is some kind of process of coming to terms with the past. It was important to defeat the nazi terror regime but as in all wars the civilian losses were pure tragedy.
My good friend Erick Miotke put these thoughts into his fantastic composition which supports the animation in an impressive way.
Music: "warmachine contradiction" from Erick Miotke
Here's what he says to his composition: "the track for tom's lancaster model and film is to be understood as a nod to the heroic pilots of these warmachines, just as to the civilians who experienced the hell unleashed on them in the german city targets. it is a contradiction expressed in the two different parts in the track. heaven and hell. with a painful but peaceful ending."
