Here’s the original version of An Cruinneachadh scored for synthesizer, solo violin, choir, french horns, and various other fx such as seagulls, waves, calls from other sea creatures, and etc. You need to imagine yourself as a selkie swimming around the seas of the North & West coasts of Scotland.

How Not to Win a Prize in a Film Scoring Contest
