(Composer)

Gold mine
All the gold this mountain has
Gold rush
Description:
Both 'Goldrush' and 'Goldrush Concerto' were inspired by the rush for gold which led to so many catastrophies in the history of mankind.
'Goldrush' ends where 'Goldrush Concerto' begins: with the discovery of pure gold. But this 'el dorado' is soon to be ransacked, leading to desperate expeditions for more gold. Gold is also to be understood here as a metaphor for 'happiness' or 'bliss'.
The concerto includes audio samples taken from the 1948 movie 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre’ featuring Humphrey Bogart. One gold digger get killed, while his mates lose their treasures by the wind blowing all their gold dust away, back to the mountains, where it came from.
