This documentary includes highlights from the recording session I had with the Northern Film Orchestra on November 15, 2021 including final performances and behind-the-scenes footage of pre-production and post-production. We recorded my compositions Escape and Clear Sailing which were composed in 2002 and orchestrated in 2010. In this 1.5 hour session we had a 57-piece orchestra and an 9-voice choir.
