Time Flies

Liner Notes
This one has been running around my head for a while. Time to sketch it out and maybe find a collaborator with an idea for a text.
Collab
Feel free to write lyrics for this. No need to ask permission, simply post what you come up with and tag me. Multiple takers and all languages welcome.
The title is only a working title with no special meaning. The words seemed to fit the first two notes, that's all.
Speak up if you'd like to sing this as a vocalist. The current voice line are #aivocals - it doesn't have to be this way. I sketched this in an operatic voice, but I could imagine other, less extravagant interpretations. All genders welcome. We can transpose if it's not in your range.

😅 That’s why I’m always looking for real vocalists. Bit of a challenge though, this one. Buuuut: Ken offered to do something with it. PS: Thanks for listening, of course! 🙏

So pretty, I love the dynamic range of emotion displayed in the progression of the instruments, sad and wistful at some points and triumphant at others. Overall gives me the feeling of hope. Lovely!

Nice orchestration. I think I might be interested in doing something with it (in a week or two after my pneumonia fades a bit.). Could it be possible to get it without the AI vocals, as I think I would chose another melody line.
Boohoo, nobody likes my melodies! sob 😭
Here you go, Ken: https://on.soundcloud.com/69smfzJif6afB6RrzC. Download enabled ("..." button > "Download file"). Speak up if you need it transposed. Curious what you'll do with it.
The current arrangement is more of a sketch. I'll spend more time later on a smoother and more sophisticated arrangement. Meaning: if you record vocals, would be perfect if you'd do it as a dry, voice-only track, so i can rearrange the music underneath.
I don't have a SoundCloud Account, so I can't get to it. Can we transfer it some other way?
Also, yes, I'd record it dry. Probably give me a bit so maybe in a week or so.

Definite Marvel Cinematic Universe vibes. And I mean that in a good way, honestly. The horns in particular are really doing a fine job. The robot Shirley Bassey is making me cringe a bit, though.
