Cue of the Week: “Shopping Spree”

This week’s selection is some 40s-esque big band swing with an impish clarinet solo in the Benny Goodman / Artie Shaw tradition. (I wish I remembered who performed it. Public service announcement: annotate your soloists!)

In the accompanying film scene, a group of feisty seniors goes on a shopping spree at Guitar Center – which hopefully explains the cue’s seemingly anachronistic guitar solos.

Cue of the Week: “Victory in Prussia”

Video game victory music tends to be brief, so forgive the short music selection this week. Empire Earth 2 had several historical campaigns, including one from the perspective of Prussia. This music capped off the experience of winning one of these episodes.

Cue of the Week: “Bite of the Desert”

Since my previous cue was a romanticized, melodic interpretation of a desert environment, I thought I’d offer a contrasting take on the same subject. This week’s selection is visceral and raw, evoking a desert’s harsh conditions and oppressive heat. Nothing to hum along to here!

Part of my approach was to include musical timbres that were organic but unfamiliar, to add a creepy and alienating flavor to the score.

Cue of the Week: “Sands of Arabia”

This week’s selection is an orchestral overture with flavors of mideastern folk music, written for the game Empire Earth II. The sinuous-sounding wind instrument opening the piece is an Armenian duduk, played here by Chris Bleth. Everything else comes courtesy of the Budapest Film Orchestra.
