Musical Scoring
CREATIVE PROMPT
In The Arrival, what seems to be a catastrophic superstorm threatens the unsuspecting citizens of Cumberland Falls. Allister believes the storm is the danger they face, as he accompanies his father to Andromeda Power, for what he believes is a routine night of work. Patrick Adams, a genius engineer and scientist, knows the truth. He’s been preparing for years for the arrival of an alien energy from another galaxy. He goes against the orders of The Andromeda Project to safely land the alien craft, risking everything to avoid a regional catastrophe. But when the measures he put in place fail, said catastrophe ensues, sending Patrick and his son, Allister, on the run in hopes of survival.
