I wrote the music based on the general idea of wanting
to display the freedom of bird flight whilst also
including the majesty and danger of the scenery they
fly over. I used some of the same ideas as previously
used in my Dolphins piece - the same time signature
with big arpeggios for the wind and movement of the
birds, rather than the water movement as in Dolphins.
For the climax after the exploding tree (I was very

For the climax after the exploding tree (I was very
pleased to find that video clip) I used a long flowing
tune which is a variant of the tune after the intro
over a strong countermelody, one taking the foreground,
then the other. There are a lot of subtle orchestral
effects that are well bought out with good
headphones.
After writing the music, thinking of high migrating
birds, Eagles, Albatrosses, snowy mountains and
Starlings murmurating, I looked around for video clips
then selected pieces and edited them together to fit
the music as best I could using DaVinci Resolve
software.
