about

This is it. The big kahuna. The "juggernaut flagship masterwork", if you will. Clocking in just over 13min, 59,000+ notes (thanks Finale!), this tune's mission statement was, "More is more!"

I had written a tune with this ensemble a few years prior (which will be featured heavily on an upcoming release), really wanted to outdo myself in every way possible: Make it proggier. Heavier. Utilize each instrument more fully. Make it more densely orchestrated. More melodic. More estranged/dense harmonies & reharmonizations...more of everything. An aural onslaught from start to finish, this tune is the backbone of the album (& a primary reason why it took so long to release!)...you can hear why ^_^

Enjoy some Progchestral madness!

+21st Century Ensemble features woodwinds, brass, pitched & non-pitched percussion, strings (including harp), choir, 2 guitars, electric bass, drums, & keyboard [instruments]
