The totally badass game-focused, Sydney-based orchestra known as theEminence Symphony Orchestrais one to watch. They do everything that sounds good in videogames. Oh, and also amazing concerts. You might have heard their lovely performances in games likeValkyria Chronicles, Odin Sphere, Diablo III, Soulcalibur IVand many more.
There’s a couple of news items that popped up on theirFacebookwall recently that I wanted to point out. One that popped up yesterday says that the Eminence Symphonic Choir is featured in the ending them ofWhite Knight Chronicles 2. That’s definitely something to look forward to. I’m expecting something epic.
The other news bit is a hint they dropped late last night. They say that they have an announcement that’s coming up later this month. One of the hints is the name “Yasunori Mitsuda,” as in the composer of Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, and many other amazing scores. Could they be working together? The best game orchestra and my favorite composer? Wouldn’t that be epic?
