justinj212 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 We met him last year? I remember him mentioning you. Would be cool to hang out afterwards. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinj212 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Oh, now I remember. I'm working with him on recording the concert. Thought the name sounded familiar o_O Speaking of which, if anyone can't make the concert you can go to www.umd.gamersymphony.org and we'll have concert recordings up in the weeks following the concert. We'll also have youtube vids once we can compile all the video. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could go; but It's way to far for me. =\ I can't wait to hear the recordings. =D Is there a list of all the songs that will be played and what games they're from?

Liontamer Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 One of the reasons I miss being in DC is not being able to make it to events like these. How was it? I'm excited to know what was on the setlist this go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinj212 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 The concert went very well! Our arrangements of Korobeiniki, Dammerung, Kirby Super Star, Odin Sphere, Sonic 3, Warcraft 2, Chrono, and others were very well received. We'll have recordings up in the following weeks at www.umd.gamersymphony.org. Hopefully we might be able to add one of these arrangements to our repertoire here at OCR . We'll see.
