This was clearly done to mirror the futuristic designs of the S6 devices, and Samsung has now come out with a story on how the 2015 iteration of Over the Horizon came to be. Originally composed by Samsung Senior Designer Joong-sam Yun, the latest version of the track was recorded at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville USA, which has contributed orchestral recordings to many famous artists (including country singer-songwriter Johnny Cash and Bruce Springsteen.) Everything was recorded live, and the mixing was done by Al Schmitt – a 21-times Grammy Awards winner who has worked with artists like Frank Sinatra – over at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles.
A 40-piece orchestra was used for the theme, with the six-note piano melody at the beginning and end played by Jamie Christopherson, another well-known musician that has contributed to plenty of movies and video games. Personally, I've found Over the Horizon to be an amazing piece of work, especially for a track that comes preloaded on a smartphone, and Samsung's blog post is an interesting look at how the “familiar uplifting melody” has evolved into its 2015 form.
