Vic Fortenbach Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Unconventional music? As you may know Tron (the 80’s cult classic movie) is getting a 21 century remake, called Tron Legacy. It’s getting some early hype, even though it’s not going to be released for at least another year. The title song is on the web, here, it sounds interesting. I have not decided if I’m going to sequence it for my 2009 show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trees got a great reception last year.I've been too lax on videotaping my stuff, but I'll do a better job this year.LVS should be pretty wild. I'll be playing it on New Year's Eve, which is the only time I get to play the odd stuff for the whole show.BTW- I have two dachshunds too. Our family has had 10 of them.

I cut some parts out to get it down to about 2 mins, and then added my timings. Lots of tempo/time signature changes to deal with, but you wouldn' t expect any different from them! Maybe, I'll get that one ready for a New Year's Eve show next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if not, RUSH minded people would love to hear how it turned out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldoradoboy Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I didnt use them in my show but I wanted to show someone I could do a nice slow fade so I did some enchanted evening by Mantovani orchestra....then I did a techno mix of a song called "in the dark" - it was one of those that I always heard the song and always saw the lights in motion in my mind to the song... those are so easy to sequence when you already have them completely visualized-Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Love Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Been thinking lately about Mozart's Rondo in D Kv 382 for 2010 about 9 minutes long should be a chore but we'll see what happens. Does anybody do classical music and if so how does it play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 This year I did William Tell Overture (edited for length) and Beethoven's Symphony #6 (also edited for length, but not finished in time for the season). Both play from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldoradoboy Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 classical music works extremely well.. esp composers with a little spunk and closer to the baroque era.. crescendos make neat mega tree spins.. violin solos are awesome for "fans".. piano concerto piano parts are great for roof lights...one of the things about classical music is its really suited for LOTS of channels.. the music is much easier to Pick apart the various instruments and then assign each instrument to a display element.. this way your display can become the Orchestra that the viewer sees as the listen...however neat and powerful it may be classical music typically will not fill the street with cars.. for people who understand what you are doing it will practically leave them in tears.. for most people they will not have a clue that you created an orchestra in the yard and will simply drive away..-Christopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnitto Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I added the "Oh, Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller as the last song in my show. You should have seen the looks on the people at the end of the song when Ferris says . . .Are you still here?It's over!Go Home!GO!Priceless.Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LENNY RUEL Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Anyone ever do Queens, Bohemian Rhapsody? I was thinking of going a few rockier tunes the week between Christmas and New Years for next year, thought that might be a good one. Also, being a Def Leppard fan have to do one of theirs, maybe Pour Some Sugar on Me. Very distinctive drum work by Rick Allen on that one.Lenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurrle Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Well as long as we are reviving an old thread I will jump in. I sequenced America starting out with Alvin and the Chipmunks singing it, the Elvis fades in and does his talking version. Then I mixed the two songs on Audacity as Alvin comes in spelling America and the group finishes the song together. Actually came out pretty good. I will try to get a video of it soon. Of course I have Penguins doing the back ground singing. All the character are animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
