This was the main inspiration for the middle part, and it was the vibe I had in mind when I saw the image.
It's just one of my favorite pieces of all time. Its atmosphere is just so otherworldly. I took a lot of the sound design cues from this, like using the harp to play fifths and the lone trumpet.
I'd put this music to a movie that draws on that retro sci-fi vibe, as well as the nobility and pacing of older stuff. I'd literally play this symphony as the introduction, where people would be arriving on and flying over the landscape on an alien planet.
I really wish I actually had given the full piece another listen... i.e. the little phrase 10:32 is something I'd really like to build on.
