My submission to Hans Zimmer's Bleeding Fingers Contest. I begin with a recitative-like violin solo based off of the main melody that transitions into a recomposed and re-orchestrated main theme. I incorporated strings as a counterpuntal texture as opposed to an accompaniment. To give the piece more momentum, I changed the time signature to 6/8 with a faster BPM. I used the synth, voice and percussion stems. The piece begins with etherial qualities that transforms into a triumphant chorus of horns, strings, and percussion. In terms of emotional conveyance and the build/release of tension, this piece is a musical metamorphosis.
