Program Notes:

Half human, half machine – the cyborgs are about to invade planet Earth! Robert uses his background in composing sci-fi scores for television to create this cinematic composition that pits humanity against the sinister cyborg army. The cyborgs are introduced by the four chords of doom and destruction! After an epic battle to end all battles, humanity prevails and the evil cyborgs are driven back into deep space. The dark minor theme of the cyborgs transforms into an optimistic major theme for the conclusion of this mini movie.
