Videospielmusik

Wer von euch ist denn morgen alles dabei? Bin bei der 15 Uhr Vorstellung anwesend, für die Abendvorstellung habe ich leider keine Karten mehr bekommen.
 
Gears of War 2 - Amored Prayer
Ein Soundtrack von unübertroffener Epicness, imo können Sachen wie Requiem for a dream da nicht mithalten
 
In nem Interview hat Distant Worlds Dirigent Arnie Roth vor kurzem erwähnt, dass es Überlegungen gibt, Distant Worlds nach Berlin zu holen. Konkretes gabs da aber leider auch noch nicht. Werde die FB gruppe aber natürlich unterstützen :goodwork: Hatte sogar überlegt für das Konzert nach London zu fliegen, aber das hat dann leider doch nicht geklappt :(

edit: hab das Interview gefunden

Matt: Arnie Roth, many thanks for speaking to us today about recent developments of Distant Worlds. It's been over a year since we've last spoke to you. How do you think Distant Worlds has developed during this time?

Arnie Roth: I'm not sure if we announced this the last time we spoke, but we recently reached agreement with Square Enix to extend Distant Worlds for another three years, and this year is the first of the three year extension. It's an unprecedented thing from our standpoint since in the past Square Enix has not allowed more than a few concerts of Final Fantasy music. And so now... six years of Distant Worlds? That's fantastic!

One of the goals for the next three years is to reach out a little further to Europe, hence the London Royal Albert Hall date and Krakow, but we're looking into concerts in Berlin, Budapest, Scandinavian countries (returning to Helsinki and Stockholm), Amsterdam, Spain, and Italy much more seriously now during these three years.

Yay, neue Kooperation zwischen Square Enix und Thomas Böcker! Freue mich bereits jetzt auf neue Infos. Allein die 3 Arrangeure Valtonen, Wanamo und Hamauzu machen Lust auf mehr :awesome:

edit: gerade auf SEMO noch ein sehr interessantes Interview mit Thomas Böcker gefunden, der bereits ein bisschen mehr über die Richtung des Konzerts verrät und begründet warum nur 3 FF Teile ins Konzert finden werden.

Chris: What inspired you to focus only on a few games, and why these in particular? Does it reflect your desire to tell their stories, not simply feature fan favourites?

Thomas Boecker: Please allow me to explain by using the example of Final Fantasy VII, although our approach is basically same for the other parts of the series as well. Currently, the music from Final Fantasy VII performed in concerts focuses on battle themes. I admit, I am not free of guilt — Symphonic Fantasies and Symphonic Odysseys also did. But that game describes a dystopia with a strong, mature story rarely found in games to this extent, with complex characters. While we do not exclude battle themes from our performance, I feel that the game's dark, romantic, melancholic, and hopeful story needs a better orchestral presentation to express what this game is all about.

So Final Symphony is indeed about telling the stories of the games, or the focus on certain scenes or happenings featured. The balance is very important to us, so that we can capture the atmosphere of the games. We believe that said balance can be only achieved by limiting the number of featured Final Fantasy parts to three. For our unique approach, VI, VII and X appealed the most to us — for many reasons, the attractive musical content being one, the apparent lack of balance at previous presentations being another.

Ich habe zwar nichts gegen Battle Themes, aber ich würde zustimmen, dass die ruhigen melancholischen Stücke mehr Potenzial haben als vermutet. Gutes Beispiel dafür war der Einsatz von Boundless Ocean aus FFIII beim Symphonic Odysseys Konzert.
