    Apollo - My first venture into more 'classical' music!

    Well I guess this is influenced by guys like Thomas Newman, Philip Glass and John Williams more than any 18th or 19th Century composers. I'm pretty happy with it especially as it was only an afternoon's work. Sometimes you're just inspired by something.

    I came up with the piano part first and it made me think of astronauts floating through space so that's how it turned out! NASA also made the cockpit recordings from Apollo 11 available recently and I don't think anything goes better with strings than those iconic, hissy radio messages.

    All in all I'm rather proud of it and as an experiment in harmony it's pretty good (although the composition could be better). ANYWAY, i'd be very happy if you cuold find 3 minutes to listen to it and let me know what you think.

    The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

    People do what they do. I mitigate their hazard to me and move on.

    stuff is just stuff. your emotional health is much more important. holding raging anger in is more harmful than your faggot-assed tv that probably deserves to get its ass beat anyway.
