IMAX Wonders of the Arctic
Amin loved breaking away from his synthesizers to work with an orchestra again. Whenever he changes a sonic palette, the result is that each enhances the other. Producers have commented that this is one of his most romantic scores. Along with the Toronto Symphony and Opera orchestras, Amin was honoured to work with northern Canadian artists Tanya Tagaq and Jean-Paul de Roover.
