This is part of a collection of songs that I composed for my friend's Peggle-like game, "Ice Breakers".  These songs represent my first foray into video game composition.  To play and hear the songs in-game, please visit www.nsparisi.com/portfolio/icebreakers

"Feather and Cane" came about after I decided I wanted to write a piece for harpsichord.  I think the hand drums let it flow with the ice cavern theme while the harpsichord changes the mood from "journey" to "business".  The "feather" of the song is the A section, while the "cane" is represented by the funkier B section.  My favorite part is the dissonant chord-less line at the end of the Bs, as I feel like it's the avenger of all of the drafts I wrote that were deemed "too creepy" for the game (by the way, I keep mentioning the point that the drafts were considered that, but in no way am I bitter--I just thought it funny... and pretty true!).

No written reviews were recorded for this version.
