Noel Gallagher has reportedly created a six hour version of ‘Champagne Supernova’.
The iconic six-minute Oasis track – which originally appeared on the band’s 1995 album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ – is said to have been transformed for London’s National Portrait Gallery.
As reported by The Independent newspaper, Noel has turned the song into a six hour ambient immersive soundscape.
The 57-year-old musician’s portrait is going on display at the museum later this month as part of the Legends exhibition with 100 portraits by London-based photographer Zoe Law.
The new version of ‘Champange Supernova’ will play for visitors at the gallery as part of the exhibit.
The gallery is also set to display an unseen portrait of Sienna Miller holding Noel’s 1967 Epiphone guitar which he used to write the track.
He previousy said: “The thought of the portrait of a grumpy middle-aged man, who frankly hates having his picture taken, being permanently displayed for future generations to marvel at is very special.”
Meanwhile, it’s been claimed Noel has been busy in the studio ahead of Oasis’ reunion tour next year.
However, with previous recording sessions for the group being notoriously volatile as a result of the tension between him and brother Liam Gallagher, the possibility of a row between the pair is being minimised as they wouldn’t have to be in the same room in order to finish the tracks.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Noel has been making new music for a few months and has around six tracks in the bag.
“Now Liam could always add his vocals remotely, to avoid any bust-ups between the two siblings.
“It’s of the utmost importance that they are as harmonious as possible ahead of their massive reunion.”
The outlet claimed the idea of the songs being recorded for Oasis has been “intensely denied” by Noel and Liam’s “people”, who insisted the brothers’ focus is on the tour.
However, Noel is keen for the band not to be seen as a “nostalgia act”.
