i had to wrap this up a little early due to restraints on time this week. i did not do a songwriter submission on this one but instead, "scored the scene" per my typical style of composition. i will take a swing a songwriting in next month's prompt. i effectively envisioned the last half hour or so of rust's effort...descending through the thick clouds over moscow with a sense of peacefulness building up to a dramatic climax touching down despite expectations. but instead of it being from rust's perspective, it is from some unsuspecting person on the ground's. the early chords are intended and choir are supposed to connote a very eastern european feel...someone minding their business being miserable in the ussr. then the tremolo violin starts to build, representing the flutter of the engine and plane piercing through the cloud deck and catching the attention of our bystander's perspective...all the way down to the triumphant landing...with a small epilogue of "oh shit, we are still in russia after all the excitement." this was obviously done in logic...primarily with spitfire audio's bbc symphony orchestra. anyway, paul said we could do inside the box and this story just screamed dramatic scoring sound to me. i'll put my bob dylan hat on next month. regardless, here it is...
looking forward to hearing everyone else's submissions next week.
