The idea here was to create a delicate soundscape around a simple tune.

We start off with mood noises and sounds like bird song and orchestras tuning up. A descending minor tune is met by a staccato bass moving up, strings appear, and a kind of celtic pipe sound appears to play over this soundscape.

This one owes a nod to Vangelis, Tomita, and the rhythms of some of Michael Nyman’s work.
