Videospielmusik-DJs: Diggin’ in the Carts – Live Set

Ein Live-DJ-Set der Stars aus Diggin' the Carts (die Doku über die gute alte Videospielmusik von SEGA, Nintendo & Co). Japano-Retro-Game-Sounds der 80er und 90er, die mit maximal 32-Bit komponiert wurden und trotzdem heute noch im Club bestehen können.

Red Bull Music Academy Los Angeles kicked off their "Diggin' in the Carts" World Tour, with the first performance at The Regent Theater in Los Angeles. Headliner performers include Yuzo Koshiro (古代祐三) and Motohiro Kawashima (川島基宏), both masters of the Sega MegaDrive FM synthesis IC, the Yamaha YM2612, and created some of the most memorable music in the 16-Bit console era.

For many of us, the music of video games played more in our households growing up than any other form of music. Over six episodes, Diggin’ In The Carts shines a spotlight on the composers who created a style of music that has had an immense impact on modern pop culture.
From the personal studios of these legendary composers, to the concert halls of Japan where symphony orchestras are performing their compositions to sold-out crowds today - the series will document how the music of video games was created, what inspired it, and how it evolved into its own cultural phenomenon.
Peppered with commentary from some of modern music’s finest DJs, musicians and electronic producers from around the world, the documentary also shows the influence these Japanese composers had on the world - and the world of music.
