Cue of the Week: “The Tension Mounts”

This week’s music selection is a dramatic (in a family-friendly sort of way) orchestral cue from a project early in my career. The Penguin Who Wouldn’t Swim was an interactive story about… well, you can probably tell from the title. At this moment in the story, an aquaphobic penguin finds himself caught on an iceberg and menaced by a killer whale. The music takes a melodic approach towards capturing the conflict of the scene.
