Song Description

You've been here before, but things have happened. It had just been BMNT, the hour for the counter-offensive missiles to be launched. But you see only the blue of the pre-dawn light.

If you didn't know about this concept, you would never notice it in the music. That is the point.

You must tune out, to keep focussed.

~~~ notes ~~~

I used GarageBand JP4, using various "Capitol A" loops.

The overall form of this song is a slow cross fade from electric guitar and rock drums, into entirely orchestral sounds.

It starts with the notes from "Capitol A Harp" - played on "Big Electric Lead," "Jazzy Rock Drums 03" - pretty much unaltered, and "Woody Latin Bass 02" - expanded and totally modified.

Over time, it morphs to: "Capitol A Violins 2," "Capitol A Violas," "Capitol A Cellos," "Capitol A Basses," "Capitol A Harp" - all unchanged. And "Capitol A Violins 1" - almost unchanged, I modified one note. "Stormy F Orchestra Kit" drums, looped but otherwise unchanged, to achieve a military feel.
