The Journey Home

This started out as a tribute to those involved in the Artemis missions and morphed into a tribute to James Horner as well. To the initiated, while the bookends ( first :50 and stating at 3:30) a bit more distinct, the center is clearly influenced by Horner with the "countdown" section bordering on plagiarism. I figured if James were still around, he wouldn't mind. There is a little Glass and Silvestri in there as well. Rather than fighting my instincts, I leaned into further study of the Apollo 13 score. The "countdown" section has this great ascending line that is a "shepherd's tone" of sorts. It was a learning experience to understand the trading off of instruments in the orchestra to achieve this effect smoothly and seamlessly and also how to program such things with samples to produce realism. #composition #orchestra #orchestral #filmscore #filmmusic #composer #logicprox #logicpro #logic #spitfireaudio #symphony #fantasy #adventure #hybrid #videogames #animation #drama #credits #artemis #nasa #moon
