Owl City star Adam Young has set himself an ambitious goal of creating one film score a month for an entire year.
The "Fireflies" hitmaker parted ways with his label Republic Records last July, after releasing the album Mobile Orchestra.
The split ended up being fruitful for Adam, as he ventured from pop music to composing scores for the big screen, reported Billboard magazine.
"Part of the reason for this endeavour is to give me a little bit of space and distance from the pop music space," Young said.
"I can switch gears and test my muscles in this instrumental world and I hope when I come back to pop music have all these new ideas."
Young, 29, will release a new score on the first of each month in 2016, and he kicked off the series in February with a composition centered around Apollo 11 and its first successful journey to the Moon in 1969.
