From The Resistance… EXOGENESIS: SYMPHONY
Exogenesis: Symphony • “Almost purely classical in style.” • Performed by an orchestra of 25.
Part I (Overture) • Part I is, “a jaded acceptance that civilization will end.” • 0:00-1:35 • Orchestral, classical sounding. • 1:42 • Vocals begin. • 2:54 • Guitar enters, giving it that Muse vibe.
Part II (Cross-Pollination) • Part II is, “a desperate hope that sending astronauts to find and populate other planets will be successful alongside recognition that this is the last hope.” • 0:00-0:56 • Piano and strings, very waltz-like. • 1:04 • Vocals enter. • 1:57 • Guitar. • 2:48 • Song reverts back to piano and strings, a resolution in song.
Part III (Redemption) • Part III is, “when astronauts realize that it is just one big cycle and recognize unless humanity can change it will happen all over again.” • 0:00 • Piano continues from Part II. • 0:11 • A second piano voice enters, along with strings. • 1:53 • A new melody takes shape. • 2:50 • Music becomes hopeful, rises to a crescendo.
