• I like to go for a certain over-the-top opulence when naming the drone pieces whereas the song titles are all about concision, I guess.

It's not, you know, over the top Old English, like Lord of the Rings would be or something like that, but there is a very sophisticated air about the Asgardians[?], you know, in their dialogue, and - hold on. Okay. Um, and I'm doing an English accent in the movie.

But I also do flush it out with my own personal experiences and my own essence, and hopefully they mesh together.
