"27 Merlins" Music composed to Falcon Heavy's sequence of events

This 3 song album is based on Falcon Heavy's actual sequence of events from its inaugural launch, February 6th, 2018 from LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. These songs represent the emotions I experienced watching the Falcon Heavy launch in person: The suspense leading up to T-0, the rush of adrenaline when side booster ignition occurred at T - 7 seconds, the disbelief and awe at lift off. The following moment was best described by Elon Musk with "Holy flying f*@k, that thing took off." There was anticipation leading up to maximum aerodynamic pressure, when it settled in that everything was actually going as planned, there was pure euphoria.

At T plus 2:33, with breaths held, Falcon Heavy's side boosters successfully deployed. With the riskiest part of the test flight over, everyone sat in wonder as the boosters began to fall back to Earth. We were listening intently to the radio call outs as we watched them fall, hoping they would make it back safely. Once the engines lit for the landing burn, the crowd screamed in celebration as the twin boosters landed softly. The call out: "The Falcons have landed."

The live-stream cut to Starman in orbit, an image that instantly became iconic. An image that immediately awakened the public, called for the world's attention, and set a new stage for human space exploration.

The video has not been altered in any way from the official SpaceX video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbSwFU6tY1c&t=687s.

(Yes, their T clock does jump a few times) Timing of major events was intentionally written to match all sequence of events. There's also a few fun "Easter eggs" like 27 bars before T-0, the first chord being an F Major (that was one major (F)alcon rocket) and audio samples from the webcast.

Album coming to Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, and many more in April, 2019.
