War of the Worlds

This is a "dark" blending of several earlier compositions, most obviously "Golden Swan". Originally I was going for a mash of "Swan" and "Hecate", to represent a confrontation. Since the biggest conflict of the story is the war between Earth and Mars - and given H.G. Wells was the original patent-holder of such tales - this song is nod to one of sci fi's greatest storytellers.

Picture credits go to Wei-Hao Wang from http://www.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/~whwang/gallery/gallery.html. They're fantastic shots (and there are plenty more at the link above). This is, as always, a noncommercial exercise.
