For starters it has been all about getting into the story, to go through the scenes getting a grip on the general tone and feel. It already features a bunch of my songs from the library, but some scenes calls for new edits and custom work.
Watching the clips on the magnificent Condors in flight, I got very inspired and first out came an idea to the song “Natural View” based on mandolin, zither, acoustic guitar, bass and electric guitar swells.

It’s a great parkour documentary there you follow five people on the west coast and there passion for movement. You get great moves, great music (and I don’t refer to my tracks), an insight on their philosophy and a general good vibe – most recommended.
