Pale Blue Dot is a tribute to the great astronomer Carl Sagan. It reminds of just how rare and precious our fragile little world is in the immense ocean of the universe. Comprised of six short movements, the piece is depictive of the topography of our planet. From forest, to desert, to ocean. From arctic tundra to bustling city life. And the final movement, Pale Blue Dot, a snapshot of our planet in all of its majesty from the perspective of space. Andrew’s cinematic music is inspiring and evocative of the tremendous beauty of planet Earth.”
