Chrono News / Yasunori Mitsuda to Perform with Video Game Orchestra on April 1st (for serious)

« on: March 19, 2011, 05:07:38 pm »

This April, the legendary composer of the Chrono series, Yasunori Mitsuda, is performing with the Video Game Orchestra (among others) at Boston Symphony Hall for the event BACK TO THE FUTURE: Two Generations of Film & Video Game Composers. The program includes "...music from Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, AFRIKA, Civilization IV and other popular games". Ticket prices are even in the "mere mortal" range ($15.50-$49.50), with an additional $5.50 'service' charge when ordering through BSO.org. Ticket availability still seems to be high. A snippet from the Boston Symphony website:

Berklee College of Music’s Film Scoring Department, students, alumni, and staff present an evening of music from celebrated movies and video games. With Boston's historic Symphony Hall as the setting, the concert features the Video Game Orchestra, directed by guitarist Shota Nakama and conducted by Yohei Sato.

Special guest conductors include Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Alan Silvestri, Emmy winner Daniel Carlin (Berklee's Chair of Film Scoring), Golden Knight winner Lucas Vidal, composer for the popular video game Chrono Trigger Yasunori Mitsuda (emphasis mine), and video game composer Wataru Hokoyama, whose credits include AFRIKA and Resident Evil.. The concert also features a performance by the 90-member world-pop group, Rhythm of the Universe.

I'm negotiating my schedule to get myself to the concert, so hopefully I'll see some of you there! (I'll be sitting up front with an oversized wrench and faux moustache.)


I was alerted to these facts via Twitter:

Fan Art / Lucca +Marle + Glenn - Some Character fan art

In some of my newfound spare time (being in the lull between graduating from college and getting a full time job), I've been working on a few character poses, starting with:

Lucca:
Here is the sketch before coloring (I like to ink by hand on paper first):
