This has been a massive project involving close to 300 musicians, with recordings taking place across the world from Los Angeles, London, Vienna, and Budapest, to Mumbai, Chennai, Beijing, and Tokyo. We endeavored to create a sound as soaring and colorful as the cinematic world of Airbender itself. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show and the music!"
