Released in 1999, this amazing orchestral score is the combined soundtracks of the 2 puzzle video games released on the original PlayStation, the main title being "I.Q.: Intelligent Qube", and the sequel to it, "Kurushi Final: Mental Blocks". These 2 soundtracks were released together on 1 album known as the "I.Q. Final Perfect Music File." No doubt one of the best video game scores of our time.

![Randall Woolf — Shakedown (1990) [w/ score]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lptGev_iKj0/mqdefault.jpg "Randall Woolf — Shakedown (1990) [w/ score]
Randall Woolf studied composition privately with David Del Tredici and Joseph Maneri, and at Harvard. Recent commissions include works for the Seattle Symphony, Paul Dresher Ensemble, Dogs of Desire orchestra, and a new ballet of Where the Wild Things Are, in collaboration with Maurice Sendak and Septime Webre. His works have also been performed by Kathleen Supové, Bang on a Can/SPIT Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, David Leisner, Twisted Tutu, Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, and others.
This is Woolf’s very exciting and driving “Shakedown” for chamber orchestra. Robert Carl wrote in the notes of this CD, “Rock Steady” where this recording originates:
“A brilliant sense of orchestration. This applies above all to Randy’s writing for mixed ensembles, such as Shakedown (1990, written for Alea III). Here thirteen players create a sound whose fullness is truly orchestral. Colors are bright and contrasting, sharp and primary, like the best Pop Art. Attacks are edgy and intense, etching lines with the quick violence of a knife-slice. And the music can shrink and balloon in an instant, moving from full-throated tuttis to delicate two-part melody/accompaniment textures.”
COMPOSER: Randall Woolf
CONDUCTOR: Bradley Lubman
ENSEMBLE: New Millennium Ensemble + Meridian Arts Ensemble
