Absolutely Curtains

Absolutely Curtains is a piece that stands out for its enveloping atmosphere and its connection with nature. This song, which closes the album Obscured by Clouds, is characterized by its fusion of organic sounds and an almost tribal approach, thanks to the influence of the Mapuga Tribe, reflected in its composition. The duration of 5:52 minutes allows listeners to immerse themselves in a sonic journey, where the instrumentation intertwines with voices that evoke a sense of ritual and community. This sound approach is distinctive of Pink Floyd, who always sought to explore new dimensions in their music.

Recorded in France during two sessions while the band was on tour, this song was part of the soundtrack for the film La Vallée, directed by Barbet Schroeder. Although the album was seen as an interlude before their masterpiece The Dark Side of the Moon, Absolutely Curtains manages to capture the essence of a moment in time, where experimentation and the search for a unique sound were paramount for the band. Composed by the team of David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright, this song is a testament to Pink Floyd's evolution towards progressive rock, always maintaining a focus on the listener's sensory experience.
