If there's one thing the Germans do well, it's videogame music concerts. There have been a large number of excellent concerts the past few years, from the Symphonic Game Music Concert series by the WDR Radio Orchestra in Koln. Symphonic Legends is the latest in the series, featuring music from Nintendo games, including Metroid, Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, and F-Zero. The concert begins today at 8:00 PM (UTC/GMT+2, or 2:00 PM EST) and will be livestreamed from the official site. Hopefully their piece will be different from the Orchestral Game Concert arrange of Super Metroid...

UPDATE: In case you missed it, video clips of the concert have been uploaded to YouTube. Here is the Metroid track. It was arranged by Torsten Rasch, a German composer who has scored a lot of Japanese horror films. The arrange is very different from previous Metroid pieces, very amelodic and discordant, reminiscent in some ways of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Rite of Spring.

Until next time...
