Colonize Mars

I began orchestrating a song I wrote about hopeful resolutions to apocalyptic relations and communication styles. I got about halfway through before the deadline, and I hope to continue orchestrating this piece to the full length of the song and beyond.

I found, as I began orchestrating, that new portals wanted to open up inside the song to allow for instrumental sections. So I followed that impulse and found myself in a sort of orchestration Narnia, where this simple song kept expanding into new, strange territories. I quite like it here, and plan to explore further what song structure might look like with all of these beautiful added elements and instruments.

This will ultimately be part of a collection of my songs that I am orchestrating and releasing in album form.
