I know, “Mr. Mole’s House” rolls off the tongue more euphoniously, but said mole lives in what could be described as warmly-decorated cave, and I strive for maximum accuracy in music titling.

This is all part of the VR adventure game Escaping Wonderland (which has been getting nothing but rave reviews, a few of which even mention music!) Speaking of music, today’s score excerpt is an affable and folksy guitar-and-bassoon tune for Mr. Mole, the player’s advisor throughout her journey.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll share some of my favorite score tracks from Escaping Wonderland, a just-released VR game that takes place in an Alice-in-Wonderland universe. It’s a delightful game with unexpected story depth (all is not as cute and whimsical as it seems!), and so created great opportunities for music.

This week’s selection is a dreamy vocal melody that plays a recurring role throughout the score. Here it’s presented as a hummed duet, courtesy of Phoebe Engelbert (who also did some voice acting in the game) and Alison Borodzicz.
