George Oldziey Wraps Another Wing Commander Track (September 8, 2016)

[ChrisReid]

Details on how a second symphony recording session will be funded are still being worked out, but that hasn't stopped Origin composer George Oldziey from continuing to make progress on the orchestrations for his next Wing Commander album. His latest track comes from the conclusion of WCP. This will be the third track after the WC3 surrender scene and one of the early mission medleys from WC4.

Just finished orchestrating Blair's alien abduction scene from Wing Commander Prophecy for upcoming orchestra volume 2! Keep you posted!

He's also found himself composing the music to go along with a promotional video for the US Air Force's Global Strike Command. They found a great guy to do it - George happens to know a thing or two about the right music to set the mood for planetary annihilation!

Boy, what an interesting way to make a living! In the last couple of months I've scored music for a presentation to the Global Environmental Fund at the Smithsonian, a video that Robert Rodriguez presented at the DNC, and now this! A trailer for the US Air Force about how awesome our nuclear arsenal is! They kept telling me "we need bigger drums! They need to sound like explosions!" So it's either saving the world or destroying it! Phew!

I didn't know (or forgot about it) that he wants to make another symphony session. Cool!

That woman you see walking down the B-52 at 1:09 is Kristin Goodwin, I had the pleasure of serving with her at Whiteman AFB when she came to fly the B-2 for a stint. I was the lowly Captain teaching her Nuclear Qualification when she was a Major. Looks like this footage is from her time as 2d Operations Group Commander at Barksdale.

Oh, and Global Strike Command is simply the rebirth of Strategic Air Command (SAC). Separated from Air Combat Command after a few foul-ups in the "Nuclear Enterprise"... decided we didn't want fighter guys in charge of bomber units after the merging of Tactical Air Command (TAC) and SAC in the 1990s.

Very interesting. I hope he publishs some new.
