Here is my submission for the Hans Zimmer, Bleeding Fingers contest. In the start of this piece we hear a calmness provided by the harp which foretells of something looming. The build up to the percussion section (which is one of two stems I have used) takes over the transition from a major key in the harp and basso continuo of the atmospheric synth choir to a more reflective and ominous minor key of the cello's. I imagined this piece to be a short tale of our own destiny. The destiny lying in the thought that we all start off with little knowledge of what is to come and throughout our lives, things will always take a turn for the unknown (in this case a dark interlude) and once this phase has passed there will always be a conclusion to previous events (in the case, the storm easing and a positive ending becoming clear provided once more mainly from the flute and horn motif by resolving into the major once more)

It's a work in progress. Mainly dubstep style but other bits in there as well. Mostly loops but I was just experimenting.
