And if they came one day, how would we react?

Their Arrival

"C'est la Vie" is an enchanting felted piano piece composed, performed and recorded by Karen Biehl.

C'est La Vie

The classic carol "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus", but with (mostly) medieval instruments!

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus (Medieval Remix)

Nocturnal procession

🇪🇸 Español (Original)
"Año 2085. La superficie ha muerto. A 5.000 metros bajo tierra, la humanidad sobrevive, pero el sistema de ventilación ha fallado. Una misión suicida debe descender aún más profundo, hasta el magma, para reiniciar el núcleo del planeta. La presión es crítica. El tiempo se acaba."

🇺🇸 English (Hollywood Style)
"Year 2085. The surface is dead. Humanity clings to life 5km beneath the crust. Now, a failing life-support system forces a desperate team to descend into the burning abyss to manually restart Earth's core. 1,000 atmospheres of pressure. One chance to survive."

🇫🇷 Français (Cinematic/Artistic)
"2085. La surface est inhabitable. L'humanité survit dans les ténèbres souterraines. Une descente fatale vers le noyau terrestre commence pour sauver ce qui reste de nous. La pression monte. Le silence est assourdissant."

🇩🇪 Deutsch (Industrial/Intense)
"Jahr 2085. Die Oberfläche ist vernichtet. Tief unter der Erde kämpft die Menschheit ums Überleben. Eine letzte Mission führt in den brennenden Erdkern. Der Druck ist tödlich. Das System versagt. Wir müssen tiefer."

🇯🇵 Japanese (Anime/Sci-Fi Vibe)
"2085年。地表は死の世界となった。人類は地下深都市「シオン」に潜む。だが今、生命維持システムが停止した。地球の核（コア）を再起動するため、決死のダイブが始まる。臨界深度へようこそ。"

🇧🇷 Português (Dramatic)
"2085. A superfície está morta. Descemos ao inferno para reiniciar o mundo. Uma missão suicida rumo ao núcleo da Terra onde a pressão esmaga tudo, menos a esperança."

I aspired to set music to ones "secret/own place" mentally. 
I originally wrote my first draft of this piece in 2013, so you might recognize some elements from my other scores on this channel!
It started with me listening to Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, Op. 73 and got the idea from a very very short part which I became obsessed with. If you were to listen to it, I imagine you'll hear exactly what part that inspired this score!

Thanks for listening!
