Cue of the Week: “Wizardly Armaments”
A fun location in the turn-based strategy game Wizard Ops Tactics was its colorful weapons shop. I wanted the music to maintain the “grumpy magic-user” personality of the store (and game as a whole) so used a lot of orchestral color — slurring low strings, pecking woodwinds, and other impish sonics.

This is what’s missing from so many scores today. The music is so rich and full of storytelling. It doesn’t just make sounds over what’s going on. It complements every moment and brings it to life.
Thanks for the kind (and thoughtful) words, Christopher!
