Updraft is an original composition for Paper to Pail. Paper to Pail is a casual, fun simulator where the player navigates a paper airplane through a house setting filled with toys and furniture to try and land inside the recycling bin to win.

Updraft creates an overall whimsical and energetic musical base to be heightened by a crescendo that represents the building up of the excitement of discovery in this adventure. Using various articulations of violins and violas the back bone of the piece is define with the help of a music box to further cement the main melody. The brass alongside the woodwinds help color the piece in a more casual manner, while the unconventional percussion ensemble composed of various wood-base, metal and leather components, further develop the toy-like feeling fitting of such child-like adventures.
