Start with the power and excitement of an electronic dance music (EDM) performance, blend in the emotional and classical tones of a symphony orchestra and the result is Electronic Opus, a first-of-its-kind, live concert experience. Combining the talents of multi-platinum EDM recording artist, film composer and technologist Brian Transeau (BT) and the award-winning composer and Video Games Live creator Tommy Tallarico, Electronic Opus features BT’s signature EDM hits re-imagined, re-arranged and remixed with a full orchestra.
American music producer, composer, technologist, audio technician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter, BT is known as a master-craftsman of all disciplines. An artist in the electronic music genre, he is credited as a pioneer of the trance and intelligent dance music styles that paved the way for EDM. A Grammy Award nominee, BT has produced, remixed, written for and collaborated with a variety of artists, including Paul van Dyk, Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, Depeche Mode, Sting, The Roots, Madonna, and Tiësto, and composed original scores for films such as Go, The Fast and the Furious and Monster.
Creative Director and Producer Tommy Tallarico is one of the most successful video game composers, known for creating unique audio landscapes that enhance the video gaming experience. For the last 10 years, he has been touring his worldwide multimedia symphonic show, Video Games Live, considered to be one of the most successful live symphonic multimedia touring shows.
This collaboration is an acoustical merging of tradition and technology, not simply symphonic versions of popular EDM songs. This ‘electronic symphonic’ collaboration reinvents what a 21st century symphonic experience can be: incredible high-energy, melodic electronic music from one of the top artists in the field blended with the artistic and cultural merits of a full symphony. Electronic Opus will dazzle and entertain music lovers of all ages.
The multimedia live concert event will feature BT accompanied by a 42-piece orchestra. In addition to singing, multiple instruments and BT’s well-known DJ skills, the show will include exclusive synchronized HD video footage and music arrangements, hyper-synchronized lighting and FX, special musical guests and unique interactive segments to create an explosive one-of-a-kind entertainment experience.
