Imagine bringing together a percussion ensemble and instructing them to smash gigantic drums and metals with the sheet music of Ode to Joy in front of them.

5% of the Dream - (by Eric Britt)

In the spring of 2016, I had a dream where I heard four measures of music. This was the initial basis of the composition. During the writing process it underwent a transformation as I livened up the motif in with a variety of compositional techniques.

Last night I wrote a short composition over the course of 40 minutes, inspired by a Haydn piano sonata as well as drawing from my own past work. It has to have been the best God-given strike of inspiration I’ve ever experienced. 

Hey guys! This is my new piece, Metropolis. In the composition I aim to emulate a 1960s vision of a bustling city of tomorrow. Having been written a month after the completion of my Underspace soundtrack, it sounds different than all the music written during that period of time. The result is wonderful.

Side note: You really get that futuristic metropolis vibe around 0:35.

Here’s a sketch from the soundtrack I’m writing for @courtofashesgame. Anyone with a knowledge of soundtracks can tell this was written in the 21st century. It has that modern film score sound.
