One of the music that I recently have gotten acquainted with is the piece by Jay Unger, later used in the Ken Burns documentary on American Civil War, in which the Ken Burns Effect is recognized: filming using merely still pictures by zooming and panning.
As for how I came across Ken Burns' works, it was a few months ago, while I was trying to use up the $5 points collected on my BestBuy card on an American Civil War documentary set (Not by Ken Burns), the whole steel packaging was very appealing to me, hence I bought it. While at the checkout register, an adult white lady saw what I was holding and asked if it was by "Ken Burns", I didn't understand at first. Later, with curiosity, I searched online and found a good set of Ken Burns' to download.
Shown above, slides of Abraham Lincoln, greatest American president/leader ever, with Ashokan Farewell playing in the background, is for me, motivating, exhilarating and relaxing. If only I had half of his bravery...
Notes: From time to time I find familiarity between Lincoln's face and Dr. John Sung's, I think it's the forehead and the cheekbones.
