This cue from Gree/Vitei’s “Ghost Attackers VR” (currently thrilling arcade-goers in Tokyo) accompanies the first level of the game. A first-level cue can effectively define a game score, since it’s the music players are likely to hear most frequently. In this case, the music reflects the madcap pacing of the arcade experience, and the zany-yet-spooky quality of the visuals.

I recently had great fun scoring a ghost-shooting game by Vitei that launched with the new VR Park Tokyo. This week’s cue comes from the game’s ballroom level, wherein the majesty of formal dance is combined with laser fire and ghost carnage.

(And if you’re wondering just how much fun you’re missing by not being in Tokyo, check out this video.)

Those of you who listened to my cue “Playground Groove II” last fall may have wondered what happened to the first one. Your wait is over.

This week’s selection is the end-credit music for Audrey and Einstein. Rhythm acoustic guitar, accordion, piano, and glockenspiel join forces in an upbeat whimsical wrap-up. I usually like to recap a film’s main theme in its end title, but in this case the main theme didn’t quite click with the cheerful mood of the finale. (I do smuggle the theme into the cue’s “B” section, however.)

Accordion performed by Bear McCreary, and guitar by Tom Strahle.

Continuing the series from the romantic comedy Audrey and Einstein, this is a sprightly cue for solo strings and a collection of colorful percussion instruments.
