Background for a Simulation game that never reached production.

I write soundtrack-related game music, focused on Electronica and ambient styles.
I'm a standalone composer. I write music for video games, and I like nothing better than working with a dedicated team of people who have great ideas, talent, and a deepseated passion for bringing their vision and identity to life in an entirely fictional environment.

Story behind the song
A few months ago, I had spent a great deal of time listening to the soundtracks to a couple SimCity games, which I thought were really inspiring. In all the games I had been playing at the time, the goal was to kill or destroy someone, (don't think I dislike violent games) and the entirely constructive nature of city/nation/society-building games struck me for the first time, despite my years of experience with a number of the genre's best. Since game-time in a sim is anomalous, I wanted a piece that, though likely several game "weeks" in length, evoked a sense of the player's citizens waking up to meet a new day of industrious life, doing whatever sim-citizens do for a living. This is what I came up with.
