Chomp and Circumstance | 52 Cues Podcast, 2025 Week 30
This week on the 52 Cues Podcast, Dave sits down with community member and band director Brandon Seneca—winner of the latest Composer Quest challenge—for a behind-the-scenes look at his delightfully creepy cue, Chomp and Circumstance. By blending toy piano, haunting vocals from his daughter, and the iconic graduation theme, Brandon created a cue that wowed the 52 Cues community. In their conversation, he shares how balancing family life, teaching, and composing is possible with a solid schedule, how writing for young students shaped his musical instincts, and why layering simple ideas can lead to complex and compelling production music. The episode also features additional cues from Brandon’s growing catalog, including cheerful plucky string pieces and 8-bit-inspired tracks that show off his stylistic range and compositional voice.
