Created as a response to Austin Wintory's Aliens Fireteam Elite Contest/Prompt.

I tried to use Austin's rhythm in as many ways as possible. I used it as a repeated rhythmic clave, but also as a basis for as many melodies as possible, sometimes using the rhythm wholesale, other times using it as a grid, or implying its general shape without using it directly.

In the end, I recorded parts for cello, violin, clarinet, flute, oboe, trumpet, trombone, electric bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, melodica, and kalimba. I supported those recordings with sampled piano, celeste, and drum tracks. 
This was my first piece playing the oboe after getting it a couple of weeks ago, and it was a blast to explore different textures and blends with it.

Thanks Austin for the excellent prompt! It pushed me to try a lot of new things!
