Hmmm... well if you consider we are currently working with leading game composers on future concerts internationally and recording projects, I think it says something about the quality of the musicians.
On the other side, Eminence was founded on a volunteer basis and the first few concert were organised by not as experienced people. I cannot vouch for the professionalism in that aspect but since then, we have learnt and grown.
I don't like hiding behind a wall where I say good things that would make everyone happy about who I am and what I do. I just straight out say things which I truly believe. PLAY!, I do like the concept but it is seriously a corporate business as I do know a lot of inside info about it. Not only that, the composers who has attended PLAY! has expressed utter disappointment about the treatment in terms of the music they played and how they handled them as musicians. Not only that, they have insulted our musicians in a correspondence with one of our Production Co-ordinator after failed attempts to leach our fanbase here in Australia in exchange for nothing. In short I really don't like how they do things and neither do many of the great Japanese composers, even when I respect and praise one of the senior staff member.
Amongst the VGM composer community, it really has become a bit of a gossip...
EDIT: and the unprofessionalism of the comments I have posted is probably because I'm a musician and not really a producer of sorts. I guess my opinions are biased on the fact that I do really like our orchestra especially when we're very serious and passionate about performing these music.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
