We all entered this project knowing a digitally simulated string section was possible. How about we leave it with something new? Instead of using a PSR-5700, or a Jupiter-80, we use strings. Real strings! A 34-piece orchestra. Then we'll get not megabytes... but gigabytes.

We've come full circle.

Yes. That is the thing that required me to keep the length of "Escapade", the song, under 8 minutes (160 bars at this tempo). Who would have thought that my first time working with an actual, professional orchestra, would be on the 7th and final track of a (re-)remake of an album that, in its original incarnation, was accurately described as "William Shatner + lo-fi + 80s revivalism"? Not only does this create a suitably big sound space for the album's finale, but it ends this project much as it began - with a musical direction that had previously seemed like a dead end being revealed, in fact, to be not so.
