From Space Quest to SpaceVenture: Ken Allen Talks Music 08.12.2025 1t 18min

Composer Ken Allen shaped the soundscape of an entire Sierra era, from Space Quest to Kings Quest, and that unmistakable Sierra logo fanfare burned into every retro-gamer's brain. Now he’s back with a full new soundtrack for SpaceVenture, and we go deep into how it all came together. In this episode, Ken walks through the craft behind his new score, the evolution from MT-32 to modern orchestral libraries, the stories behind iconic Sierra tracks, the surprising inspirations for SpaceVenture’s music, and what it’s like to reunite with the Two Guys from Andromeda after decades. Expect anecdotes, technical insight, nostalgia, and plenty of behind-the-scenes lore from one of the genre’s defining composers. Mangia!Some corrections. - Beats Per Minute (not beats per second - that wouldbe crazy). - Composer for Silent Running was Peter Schickle, not Jerry Goldsmith. - Kazoo Orchestra is on the 2001 Theme and synth was used Blue Danube.Check out the SpaceVenture Soundtrack! https://www.kenallenmusic.com/ Play our adventure game!

Anna hits the floor at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, or as she and her late friend Roberta always called it, the PGRE.
