The
first major video game music concert tour "Video
Games Live" is finally taking shape as the official
website www.videogameslive.com was launched on
10/29/04. The website reveals that Video Games
Live will be the first ever world concert tour
of videogame music, not just limited to the US,
and is currently booking for the 2005-06 concert
season with concerts beginning in early summer
2005. Visitors to the site are now invited to
sign up for updates.
Video
Games Live is produced by award-winning sound
and music composers Tommy Tallarico (Advent Rising)
and Jack Wall (Jade Empire). Tommy Tallarico,
CEO of Mystical Stone Entertainment, LLC, the
company producing the event, told M4G, "I've dreamed
of this event my entire life! The timing for something
like this is perfect and I can't wait for all
the fans of video game music to see and hear what
we're putting together."
Jack
Wall, COO, Mystical Stone Entertainment, LLC,
who is best known for his epic orchestral scores
for the Myst series, said; "It always amazes me
how many people continue to believe that video
game music still sounds like bleeps and bloops!
Tommy and I are certainly going to do everything
we can to dispel that myth. Most of all, we’re
going to try hardest to simply entertain people
with this show."
Video
Games Live will feature the best music and video
clips from the most popular games from the beginning
of video gaming to the present. To date, the organisers
have acquired the rights for the performances
of Medal of Honor, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider,
Myst, Advent Rising, Beyond Good and Evil, Prince
of Persia, Splinter Cell, and Ghosts and Goblins.
More major titles will be announced soon.
"Video
Games Live" was founded in 2002 by industry veterans
Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall under the parent
company Mystical Stone Entertainment, LLC. Mr.
Geiger and the William Morris Agency are currently
booking the first Video Games Live tour for the
2005-06 concert season. Stay tuned for upcoming
