This week’s selection is an otherworldly choir of voices for one of the races in Hex: Shards of Fate – in this case, an undead hive mind. (This isn’t one of those cues that you can sing in the shower.)

This dramatic cue from the film Home Room features strings, piano, and one of the signature solo instruments of that score, bass flute.

Many fantasy-themed games lovingly pilfer from Tolkien and add orcs to their indigenous species. In Hex: Shards of Fate the orcs are a comparatively benevolent race. (Think new school Klingons rather than old school.) In writing their theme I was careful to balance the sense of martial culture with a heroic undercurrent.

Advance of the Orcs | |
In the movie Siren, a groupie comes a little close for comfort to a married band member. I scored the abortive moment of temptation with ambient electric guitar and vocals, respectively performed by Tom Strahle and Hilary Hearty.

With the Band | |
The next music cue from the Hex series, this week’s selection is both a darker and more energetic take on the traveling/map view visual. The game’s main theme has been transformed into a repeating phrase in the flutes which dances above the slower brass and string statements.
