While at Capitol Studios, Paul McCartney also met with Martin O’Donnell to work on their common project to compose the soundtrack of the videogame “Destiny“.

I met [Paul] at Capitol Records when he was recording there, and we had the room to ourselves. I had a piano there, so I could show him the stuff we were doing and he showed me the stuff he thought would be interesting.

I got to hear an early mix of Kisses on the Bottom which was still being recorded. We were alone in Studio A. I showed him what I was working on and also played him recordings of material he had sent me over the summer – music he’d recorded in his home studio for use in Destiny. That was when he told me he wanted to collaborate on Music of the Spheres.
