As someone told me lately, “Everyone deserves the chance to fly!” And if I’m flying solo, at least I’m flying free.

&lt;p&gt;This is an electronic composition that I tinkered with during my lunch hour. I’d spent a lot of time over the previous months focusing on a lot of dissonance and noise, so I set out to make something a little more organic and cinematic. What resulted is a little too derivative of Philip Glass, but I’m still rather fond of it.&lt;/p&gt;
