Space Invaders
orchestration  brass band
duration  4:00

The title track from Foden's Brass Band winning performance at Brass in Concert 2009. Commissioned by Foden's Band and recorded on the CD 'A World Within' (SP&S DOYCD 276). The piece commences with a fanfare-like passage with shifting time signatures, before settling into a funk-inspired groove, led by the bass section, bass trombone and percussion. An intricate ensemble section, either side of a tongue-in-cheek 'B' section (where Space Invader images and firing sounds were projected behind Foden's at Brass in Concert) all lead to a powerful and tight finish.

Space Invaders is an arcade video game designed by Tomohiro Nishikado. Following its release in 1978, the game caused a temporary shortage of 100-yen coins in Japan, and the Guinness World Records ranks it the top arcade game.
