"Death of a Mars Rover" airs June 2 on National Geographic Channel at 8pm...

The music score for Death of a Mars Rover was taken entirely from the OBT Music library. The National Geographic Channel film that premieres June 2 at 8pm is about NASA's decision to end the Mars rover program. The rovers were only expected to last 6 months but have lasted more than 6 years and gathered invaluable clues to the Mars' past and perhaps the future of the Earth. The film was scored with the library, making use of pieces that fit exactly, or pieces that needed editing to fit, or pieces that needed some gentle alterations to fit. Tom Phillips worked with producer Mark Davis to complete the score in the span of a week.....and it is a virtual wall to wall music score reflecting the character of National Geographic Channel's identity.
