This week’s music accompanies an Escaping Wonderland puzzle which requires simultaneously navigating both floor and ceiling. (Gravity is unusually flexible in this particular area.) This week you’ll hear the “normal” music, and next time you’ll hear the accompanying upside-down cue, which, appropriately, inverts the melody.

Continuing the musical exploration of Escaping Wonderland, this week’s selection comes from the game’s Bitter Glade region. As the title suggests… there’s a lot of snow. But there’s also fun problem-solving and impish humor, and the score tries to reflect all of the above with a wistful but light-footed tone.

In this week’s music selection, high strings and melancholy voices evoke the snow-capped forest in the Bitter Glade region of Escaping Wonderland.

I’m excited to be working on music for the official tabletop RPG adaptation of The Expanse! The game draws from the novels by James S. A. Corey, which in turn gave rise to the fabulous TV series. (Corey is actually a pseudonym for a partnership of two authors, one of whom – Daniel Abraham – is among my favorite speculative fiction writers.)
Currently in progress, the score contains some thematic music as well as underscore evoking some of the environments of The Expanse: Earth, Mars, the Belt, and more mysterious regions as well. More details once the project is done!
The Cheshire Cat music from 2020’s Down the Rabbit Hole was impish and bouncy, and remains one of my most streamed cues. In Escaping Wonderland the famous feline has a far more ominous persona, gloating over a frozen waste of a forest from which he’s driven all residents.
As you’d guess the music has changed as well, now a brooding melody for bass clarinet against cold string harmonies. There is however a quirky agility to the tune. (An evil cat is still a cat.)
