Music and sound didn’t just play an integral role in the making of our new film. Spend any time reading the lyrics to Navigate the Seas of the Sun by Bruce Dickinson and you’ll see why we thought it was a perfect choice.

“They are our children, our family”, Daly says of the instruments aboard #Cluster. He has been working on Cluster for 39 years. Enjoy!
