Disclaimer: Some postage stamps did not exist, as well as the names of some postal services and locations. After this video, AI-generated images stopped being used.

This time we go back to an epic uplifting adventure in the 50's, when people used a lot of postal mail, and thousands of messages and things traveled in paper and cardboard worldwide. In this musical adventure, we will discover the mystery of what happened to the letters when they were sent.

What happens in this video is purely imaginative, some things may be far from reality or may not be historically correct.

This piece of music came up as an idea, where I wanted to make a piece of music about postal service and use more elements that make the orchestra sound like in the 20th century, keeping the musical magic that some pieces of The Clockwork Lands had, but with harmonies closer to modern times.

Parts:

0:00 Part I The Sending
2:44 Part II Central Postal Service
4:16 Part III Airmail
7:00 Part IV Delivery and finale
