Alien New World

My prompt was Alien + New World. My first thought was a creepy sci-fi film like Alien, but then my mind went to other visions such as Avatar or Oddworld; so I focused on making something spacey and whimsical. My focus was trying to create a celestial sounding track while maintaining the traditional orchestral sound. Given my classical background, I wrote it in a way that it can be played and performed by real instrumentalists & singers. 

I took inspiration from:

-The Planets - Gustav Holst

-E.T. - John Williams

-Avatar - James Horner

-Oppenheimer - Ludwig Göransson

-Sergei Prokofiev (various)

Orchestration:

-Flute, Piccolo, Bass Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet

-French Horn, Tuba

-Celesta, Harp

-SA Choir

-Strings
