Floating Points made another long-ass song with another orchestra. 

[His] new 13-minute track "Falling To Earth" is a collaboration with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, and part of his score for the San Francisco Ballet's Mere Mortals, a show that premiered in January 2024. A new run of Mere Mortals began last month in San Francisco, with Floating Points performing live as part of it. -Stereogum
