"TOMORROW will be better for as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life… What I will say now is just what most of us are probably thinking every day.

“America, spread your golden wings
Sail on freedom's wind, across the sky.”

Re-Imagining the Journey

NEWS FLASH: Everything You’re Listening to Is Wrong!
Ok, well maybe not wrong but certainly incorrect. This was my thought process while dreaming up the Future World Soundtrack Series (FWSS). Whenever I would listen to the soundtrack of a certain attraction or a pavilion’s background music (BGM) I thought it was like I was listening to the actual soundtrack to a film; lots of “dead air”, starting and stopping abruptly, forensic editing, etc. I thought that the best way to present the FWSS was to completely ignore the historical context of the subject matter, and speaking as a historian this was in and of itself a radical concept. I wanted to create a “Listening Experience”. SO WHAT if things were not exactly labeled the way things are in the WDI archives, and who really cares if you play around with the order of things. It’s about the music!

This monochromatic desktop, primarily features the FWSS "Future Notes" Logo. With beams of light emanating from its base, Spaceship Earth is surrounded by a TEXTure of 15 songs and score pieces that represent the history of Epcot music, from "We've Just begun to Dream" to "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand."If you look at the Copyright you'll notice that this collection and, in fact, all of E82 has been slowing evolving over a period of several years.
