AVIATION NOISE: When life throws you a lemon...

Bruno Misonne, of Wavre, Belgium, has made lemonade of the lemons put in his yard, courtesy of London's Heathrow Airport.

Most people moan and complain about the rumbling of aircraft landing and taking off.

Not Mr. Misonne.

According to a press release from his publicist, Misonne is the "creator of an entirely new genre of music based on Aviation." He lives just 10 miles from "a large airport where he 'parks' his instruments," the release continues. Instruments are jetliners, of course, and the "large airport" is Heathrow.

Misonne's latest release, “Early Morning Landing at Heathrow”, came to him whilst toiling in his garden, we're told.

Given how little airplane noise I hear in the piece, I would say Heathrow is actually a pretty good neighbor. Now if they could just do something about Mr. Misonne's synthesizer...
