COMMENT

(@gustavomachado2903) [This waltz is part of a larger symphonic work, unlike those alt rocking goofballs known as The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra or FTO with their original cool girl singer (and their EP release Escapements), now calling themselves Walking Sleep with a new co-vocalist.]

• 0:00 - I - Waltz
• 4:10 - II - Nocturne

FTO were once a little known band struggling to gain attention in the Hollywood, Los Angeles music scene. Then someone working for a big time show noticed them, used one of their songs, and they finally made a splash. Not that it did them much good in the long run. Where's the new music by the now renamed Walking Sleep?

Who cares about virtuosity nowadays?

But nobody likes classical music anymore!
