This is fantastically evocative.

Is there a 'become a fan of Rodney Newton' button anywhere on this page? I loved this track so much. I love the transparency achieved in the orchestration so you hear all the intricacies of the writing and counterpoint. Sure it is easy to say that there are hints of Debussy or Holst or Vaughan Williams - all of them geniuses in my view - but I think stylistically this stands up all by itself. Love it

As a newbie, it is difficult to write about this without the fear of sounding almost condescending - who am I and does my opinion really count? Well, it does to me and this I believe is lyrically and harmonically phenomenal. I can't stop listening to it. I love this genre of music that not only works brilliantly with the visuals, but can stand up as music in its own right. So much of what is written these days for screen seems devoid of any meaning once you separate it from the visual context. Great writing.

An absolutely virtuosic orchestration of such a tightly scored to picture track. Awesome work, Joris.
If you haven't heard this track in situ, head on over to Joris' website for the video.

Such a small amount of thematic material developed with real skill and musicality. Really beautiful.
