Hyperion Music: The Consul’s Theme. Based on Dan Simmons’ novel.

I’m a musician and fan of Dan Simmons Hyperion. This tune is specifically inspired by Hyperion’s prologue, introducing the Consul playing Rachmaninoff from his starship. The piano part is inspired by the actual Rachmaninoff’s piece as played by the Consul. The illustration is from the artist François Baranger - full pictures are available here : Thank you so much François for letting me use your artwork. Leave some comments if you want to get in touch. I will compose and record more music as every characters and stories from Hyperion to the Fall of Endymion are a great source of inspiration.
