Cue of the Week: “Wizard Ops (Main Theme)”

Here’s the main theme from “Wizard Ops”, a newly-released sorcerous game for your iOS (or soon, Android) gadget of choice.

I was really jazzed when I saw the game’s concept art months ago, and the musical approach suggested itself almost immediately: a rollicking but quirky scherzo, a sort of hyperactive cousin to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice or the Uranus movement of Holst’s Planets. Supernaturally adventurous, but slightly disgruntled, like the game’s protagonist.

If you’d like to hear the music in context, then levitate on over to iOS app store and check it out!

Cue of the Week: “Battle For The West”

Time to get your trebuchet back from the shop! This week’s music selection is an orchestral battle cue, slowly growing from a cello-and-timpani rhythm into a full symphonic sound.

p.s. For some reason, my spellchecker doesn’t recognize the word “trebuchet”, and asked me if I meant to type “Bucharest”.
