This version uses my original narration. If you would like only the orchestra, there's an Orchestra Only version here.

About
I was approached by the makers of the Otter Island internet radio show. They wanted a new intro theme for their show, and I had a weekend when I didn't want to clean my apartment. They had another theme which was... well, they were right. It needed replacement :).

I wrote the following mystical-style orchestral piece, fitting it for the narration in the old version, culminating with the playful otter theme, and finally a choral coda meant as background for the further episode-specific narration of the makers of the show. Then I made a narration test for it, and it actually made it into the final version.
