about

"Flying Mountains" is a symphonic suite composed in 2004 by Carl Irwin. Each movement is derived from cryptograms on iconic roller coasters. The musical ciphers are portrayed in melodic and harmonic material as well as minimalist ostinato patterns throughout the suite. Some movements feature limited sections of the orchestra, including expanded percussion, woodwinds and the addition of electric guitar.
Permission was obtained for the use of trademark roller coaster names.
