Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy Jiritsu / 而立
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 17
Time: 3 to 6pm
Venue: Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
As a big fans of Faye Wong, I know about Final Fantasy back to my teenage time. I love her sang “Eyes on Me” which was truly a hit back in 2006.
And now, I am going to listen the music live with my elder daughter. I feel really excited and can't wait! Sharing with you more details about Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY JIRITSU / 而立 below.
Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY presents a new series of orchestral concerts: FINAL FANTASY 30th Anniversary - JIRITSU. Including a spectacular musical tribute to 30 years of FINAL FANTASY, music from FINAL FANTASY XV and a visual experience to accompany the show, SQUARE ENIX, AWR Music and Impact Live/Creon Asia bring this once in a lifetime live show to Kuala Lumpur's Planerary Hall on 18th October. Featuring Japanese video game composer Nobuo Uematsu in attendance and a full symphony orchestra conducted by Grammy award-winner Arnie Roth, this multimedia experience combines stirring HD screen images to match the soaring emotions of SQUARE ENIX's world-renowned FINAL FANTASY video game series.
With the first FINAL FANTASY concert premiering in 2002 in Japan, the concept has toured the world, with this new 30th anniversary production including music from throughout the 30 years of FINAL FANTASY games as well as new scores and arrangements created specifically for these concerts. Video game music has grown increasingly popular in the last few years, playing an integral role in the immersive experience of today's games. The FINAL FANTASY soundtracks, which are original compositions, have grown so popular that TIME magazine named series composer Nobuo Uematsu a notable "Innovator" in its recent "Time 100: the Next Wave Music" feature. SQUARE ENIX hopes to pioneer awareness and appreciation of not only its own musical creations, but also video game music throughout the industry.
