"Go West, Young Man" - Composed by Chris Ryan

"The West was once a place only heard of in song and story; dreamed of but never seen..."

I originally wrote a simplified version of this piece when I was much younger; I've been waiting to orchestrate it ever since, but the time never felt right until now. This one goes out to anyone who has ever had big dreams.

Composed in Garageband using EastWest SO Gold and Pianos Gold, and deeply influenced---in spirit if not in style---by my childhood heroes James Horner and Michael Giacchino.

First time hearing you, and oh my god. This is absolutely stunning, i don't think words can do proper justice to how beautiful this sounds. I can only tell you how much i love this through words, which might not seem much, but its all i can do; if there was a way that i could possibly tell you much i love this then i would. Amazing work here man, keep on making music, you will get extremely far one day!
