Today, on day 16 of 21 Days of VGM, I rediscover my love and skill of orchestration... and why I don't do it cause IT TAKES TWO FECKING HOURS TO SCORE A WHOLE FECKING MINUTE FECK

This is why I haven't orchestrated most things since 2014. For the most part I achieve my signature sound in a lot less time. Since the shambles that was NGADM2014, I took to doing chamber orchestra, electronic ambient, folk and ethnic stuff, combining all of these genres at various points in time.

The prompt I chose for today was to score something that evoked the thrill of flying for the first time (like when we go flying on a dragon, or an airship, in RPGs, or anything else perhaps). My Seán and I have watched enough series on flight and space to know where this is going, and so I wrote based on my residual memories of orchestrating things, and the things I'd heard.
