[News] Chris Hülsbeck in Concert

Hey everyone!

Do you have any ideas for your summer trip in 2008? No? Perhaps that's something for you:

There will be a concert with music written by Chris Hülsbeck in Cologne in August 2008. A "big orchestra and chorus" will perform new arrangements of tracks among other things from Apidya, Giana Sisters, R-Type and of course Turrican.

Well, if that not enough, Games Convention is in August, too! And most likely there will be a Symphonic Game Music Concert again. Could be a hot summer for VGM lovers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just a quick update information: The concert will be calling "Symphonic Shades" and tickets can be ordered in early 2008.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's sold out! If you have a ticket, be happy, if not, don't worry. It could be that a CD record of the concert will be available but depends on the feedback of the fans, so sign in to I-want-the-Huelsbeck-in-Concert-CD and show how epic you are!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

*push*

Okay, everybody. CD will come. Check it out and preorder it!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Thank you for the interview! Wah, more stuff from Thomas Böcker & Co. Amazing. Can't wait for any announcement.

Yes, Thomas is a very polite guy and just the right man for VGM projects. I'm happy that he didn't quit after Leipziger Messe GmbH said "no" to an sixth Symphonic Game Music Concert.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Great option for all who can't attend the show live in Cologne.

Studio quality CD sounds nice but I will miss the audience's reaction a bit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

After a bit sleeping I'm here as well. Guys and gals it was simply fantastic. I've paid 128 euros for the train (out and back) and I don't regret any single one of them.

I don't want to go in any details since Mr. X is waiting for my report but three points now: 1) The atmosphere was splendid. 2) Mitsuyoshi-san is a really really cool and funny guy and it seems he enjoyed his time in Cologne every single minute. 3) Mitsuyoshi-san's wife/girlfriend (or was she just his manager? Don't know) is damn cute and sexy He has taste!

A lot of photos were taken by me, some not in the quality as I wished but flash light was forbidden. Well, fortunately taking pictures in the concert hall was allowed, as I first talked with an employee he told it isn't. However, I'll upload all the pictures in near future and make a link here.

By the way, in the concert hall there was an TV camera installed (and running as I saw). So maybe a TV broadcast is possible in some time in the future.

Thanks to Teioh, AkumuHau and his friend for the after show talk through the night. It was interesting even your knowledge about H-Games.

FELIPE NO

By the way folks, Winfried Fechner, manager of the WDR Orchestra, told in an interview about plans for a big concert at Kölner Philharmonie during GamesCom next year.

GamesCom is a new gaming expo in Cologne which should replace Leipzig's Games Convention and is hold from September 9th till September 13th.

The Kölner Philharmonie is a much huger concert hall than Funkhaus Wallrafplatz or Leipzig's Gewandhaus (the place of the Symphonic Game Concerts). German Wikipedia is telling about 2,000 seats. You can get a 3D view here.

No more details yet but could be awesome when the plans come reality.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It took a while but pictures are finally up. Enjoy! -> Click me!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Pic or it didn't happen!!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To be honest Koshiro-san was a mystery that evening but Takenobu Mitsuyoshi rocks hard! Forget metal, guys, \m/ is the Mitsuyoshi pose!

How ya doing, buddy?

Just a quick info: Symphonic Shades is also available on iTunes now!
