2K and Firaxis Games announced that Christopher Tin will be returning to Civilization series to compose the title theme for Sid Meier's Civilization VI called 'Sogno di Volare' (The Dream of Flight). He is famed for comping the title them for Sid Meier's Civilization IV 'Baba Yetu'. It is still the only piece of video game music to win a Grammy Award.
I wanted to write a piece that captured the essence of exploration, both the physical exploration of seeking new lands, but also the mental exploration of expanding the frontiers of science and philosophy.
