Meanwhile, the mystery of the musical hot air balloons is solved. I emailed a hot air balloon society, and they put one of those responsible in touch with me. Robin Batchelor was the pilot of Daisy, the red and white balloon. He wrote: "Dan Jones composed the music you heard and Luke Jerram is the Artist behind the project. The whole idea is presented by LIFT, the London International Festival of Theatre with the support of the Mayor's Office for London at the Greater London Authority to celebrate the one year anniversary before the opening of the 2012 Olumpic Games and LIFT's 30th birthday."
He enclosed a link to the Sky Orchestra website: http://www.skyorchestra.co.uk/
If you visit, you can click a balloon and hear the music.
i can't get my stupid volume thingie to work on my computer so I'll have to come back to see the video from yesterday and today's link. But it looks so cool. I love balloons. I want to take a hot air balloon ride someday. Thanks for the info!
