    Metal Slug Tactics' Soundtrack is a Wild Ride - Here's the Genius Behind It

    Interview with Tee Lopes
    When it comes to the arts, the idea of progress is a slippery concept. Is the music of Miles Davis better because it's more complex than that of Louis Armstrong? Is the latest Pixar film better than the Disney classics? The answers are more complicated than you might think. I thought about this when listening to Tee (Tiago) Lopes' music for the recent Metal Slug Tactics. Unlike some recent scores, Tee's music is entirely digital, without studio musicians or an orchestra anywhere in sight. By intention, Tee's music for Tactics and his earlier Sonic the Hedgehog scores are intentionally synth-and-sample heavy and full of happy energy.

    Tee Lopes was born in Portugal and developed an interest in creating music using early PlayStation games/apps like Music 2000. Eventually, he was creating YouTube remixes of classic Sonic music, which led to his co-founding of PagodaWest Games and a partnership with Sega in 2017. Tee has written dozens of scores for Sonic games and other, varied titles. I had the chance to speak with Tee about his recent work on Metal Slug Tactics.

    More Than the Retro Guy
    Although Tee has written music for some classic - and classic-inspired - games, his interests are broad. "I love retro games and music-they've had a huge influence on me-but it's not my sole focus," Tee said. "I'm equally passionate about modern music, exploring fresh techniques and trends, and finding ways to bring them into my own creations. While many of the most well-known projects I've worked on lean heavily into that retro vibe-and I completely understand why that label exists-I'd still find it limiting to be seen exclusively as a 'retro music guy.' "
