The music is perfect; moreover, the simple title, "Roads", is somehow both local and worldly at once, elegantly capturing both the structural modernity symbolizing the connectivity of our civilized peoples in our places of civilization--the paved, the asphalt--as well as the more metaphysical sense that life itself is a journey; we are somewhere, moving towards some other-where, wandering; and the movement of our feet, all our motion, is a kind of road by our being there. Title--genius.
Who would have deigned to imagine that a kind of artistic potential lay dormant in this ubiquitous technological functionality that most of us have heretofore taken for granted as a means to some immediate end, an orienting device to help us get somewhere new, by aid of visual cues, as of one who has there once been--possibly without taking a moment to ponder at the wonder of it all, a mapping out of the world at a moment in time, as it once was and never will be again, and so there is beauty.
