Dana Leong writes music for Virgin Galactic

Dana Leong was commissioned by Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic to create a track for the opening of its new Spaceport in New Mexico.  The music will accompany the gravity-free dancers of Project Bandaloop as they help to celebrate the world’s first commerical spaceport.  Virgin Galactic, which aims to become the world’s first commercial spaceline, is planning to launch its first flight from the New Mexico base within the coming year. For anyone interested in catching one of the space flights, tickets cost $200,000.
