Prelude to Apocalypse Girls - track 8 on Manic Pixie Dream World bts
Both preludes on this album take the basic form of an overture, in this case we have the verse, instrumental break, and bridge re-arranged as orchestral music with a mounting sense of urgency that reaches it's high point in time to segue directly into Apocalypse Girls.
Of the two this one was more fun to compose since it required me to re-orchestrate the 17/8 sections in a way that flows naturally - I love challenges like that. I also incorporated some scordatura and some dissonant runs towards the climax - these were trendy in Canadian indie both anglo (@arcadefire ) and franco (@klopelgag) for awhile and it was fun to play with them. The dynamics are also more dramatic than in the previous interlude and I appreciate that Spitfire's free plugin can do that. While I thought it was kind of funny initially to include programmed orchestra it really sounds too good to be kitsch.
At the climax, in a nod to the digital, artificial nature of the piece and the cyberpunk vibes of its namesake, I programmed the drums to "glitch" at the last second, revealing their computer origins right before the track about the post human internet begins.

in vietnamese culture, the zodiac animals are slightly different – instead of the rabbit, we celebrate the year of the cat ( aka my year hehe ) 😺 — art prints / stickers & posters !
