In the Spring of 2021, students in the Technology and Applied Composition program at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music were given the assignment to create a professional demo for a fictitious video game entitled PARALLEL. Composers were instructed to create a main theme for the game, which follows a main character as he struggles with the balance between the real world, and the magical, virtual world of Atlantis.

This album was recorded live at Castle Recording Studios in Nashville, with the composers sitting in on the session remotely from around the world. Mixed by David Tippie '23 in the TAC Studios at SFCM. Album artwork by Jessica Mao '20.
