Kondo, former LucasArts composers to play at GDC live |
Ó
A concert as a closer? Sounds good. That's exactly what the Game Developers Conference (GDC) is planning, and it has recently announced that legendary Nintendo composer Koji Kondo will be one of the performers for the Video Games Live's return to the GDC. Kondo is best known for his work on such beloved franchises as Mario and Zelda.
"There is clearly no game music more recognizable around the world than the themes that Mr. Kondo has created over the years." said Video Games Live executive producer and co-creator Tommy Tallarico. "What an incredible honor to have such a true legend in the gaming world join us on stage to celebrate video game music and the wonderful industry surrounding it."
Apart from Kondo, Martin Leung, the Video Game Pianist, will also be performing a brand new classic video game arrangement. A rare special acoustic performance by the original LucasArts composers performing a medley of classics from games such as Monkey Island, Outlaws and Grim Fandango is also in the lineup.
Voice-over legend Dee Baker will also be on stage, and guitarist and video game artist Chris Kline - aka "vertexguy" - will be debuting his live synchronized Contra "Jungle Theme" rock-n-roll presentation.
After the performance, there will be a meet-and-greet where fans can interact with videogame composers and designers. A whopping 20 luminaries (names yet to be announced) are slated to be at the event.
Video Games Live will be held at the Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium on Friday, March 9 at 8 P.M. Tickets are priced from US$ 38.50 to US$ 65 at LiveNation.com.
