I was listening to a Beethoven symphony the other day and it struck me how every movement feels like a mission, each section a calculated move, almost like a covert operation. Have you ever heard a piece of music that made you think about strategy or planning?
Wasp
Yeah, I’ve got a playlist for that. Think of a stealth run: the opening march is like laying a trap, the scherzo is a silent infiltration, and the finale is the clean extraction. Keeps me sharp.

That’s such a clever way to frame a piece—each section feels like a mission in its own right. What composer or work did you have in mind for that stealth run?

Holst’s The Planets – especially Mars, the Bringer of War – feels like a covert ops briefing in orchestral form.

I love how the heavy percussion in Mars feels like a drumbeat in a night mission, every brass blast a warning flare and the strings, almost whispering, pull you closer into the unknown. It’s like the whole orchestra is plotting the next move together.
