Digging Your Scene

Continued from page 1

Well, TSO is amazing because of the lights and the big rock show, but they don't have synchronized video like we do. And there are some great pop culture multimedia symphony shows with synchronized video, like Howard Shore toured around his Lord of the Rings music, but they didn't have the rock & roll lighting.

So you're unique because you have synchronized video and lights, and not just one or the other?

Well, yes, but we also have the interactivity. We have the pre-game show and the costume contest. There's even parts in the show where I pick people out of the audience and come up onstage, and they will play the video game while the orchestra is playing the music. They change the music in real time on the fly with what the character is doing on the screen.

What's the first video game that you played where the music stood out to you?

I'm going to say Pac-Man, because I would play the game when I was younger and I noticed "Wow, this is actual music, and it's catchy and it's not just noises."
