It happened. Someone besides the circus, cirque or a carnival asked me to compose a piece of music. Who? A zoo, or science center. It depend on who you ask, but CuriOdyssey has bobcats, turkey vultures and a geodesic doom.
The music was originally composed for a Native American/Space exhibit, but after we started counting down to delivery they changed direction to slow motion fireworks. Now what? Toss the score? Toss a table? I buy my best fireworks at the Indian reservation. We pull up our pants and make it work. With minimal arranging and glossing over comes, Spirit Sky Fireworks—a musical score not a roadside fireworks stand.
