I've also listened to most of the concert Saturday and I concur it was pretty awesome. At first I wasn't too certain I'd enjoy it much since huge-sounding orchestral music is not what I listen to everyday, but I guess the quality of the arrangements and original compositions, plus the top-notch performance, helped me get over it and appreciate the fabulous music. The pieces that had the biggest effect on me are probably "X-Out" and "Shades", but ultimately there wasn't one I disliked. Would have loved to be in Germany that night to experience the concert fully, but I'm still grateful for the live broadcast.
The featurette was quite a nice surprise indeed, even if I couldn't follow it accurately. A translation of it would be really neat to read. Many thanks in advance for taking care of this, Prime Blue. Also, we've been in talks at VGM Rush of conducting an interview with the main arranger of the concert, Jonne Valtonen. While the list of questions is already populated, there's still room for a few more. So if you have any good ones about either the concert or other aspects of the artist's career, send them my way and I'll slip them in! Jam it back in, in the dark. |

For those who would like to learn more about the main arranger of Symphonic Shades, check out an interview we did with Jonne Valtonen at VGM Rush. We discussed about the concert, his career as game and demoscene composer, and more.
http://www.vgmrush.com/feature.php?id=4 We also published a review of the Symphonic Shades CD. Chris, the reviewer, concluded that it is "the best orchestral game music album ever created", so it's definitely an album to look into! Additionally, we're currently running a review contest of which the prize is a copy of the Symphonic Shades CD. If you're interested in participating, you can find the details here. How ya doing, buddy? |
