Note:
DEEP BLUE is a Grade 3 band work that is inspired by the music of ambient video
games like Journey, ABZU, Flow, and more. The piece is meant to portray this calm and
serene feeling of swimming somewhere underwater, watching the marine life passing
you by.
This work is commissioned by the LET’S PLAY consortium with composers Josh
Trentadue, Harrison J. Collins, and Katahj Copley.
