This was a special one for me. Working on the futuristic theme for the finale, I had a blast composing the music from scratch and working on the motion graphics. For the music I composed, as always, with Ableton Live and used ReFX’s Nexus Synth in combination with Native Instruments plugins. I was inspired by melodic techno and tried to capture the essence of this genre while adding my style to it. For the orchestral parts I used the wonderful BBC Symphony Orchestra. I also did the mixing and mastering on Ableton. It’s a long way from when I started creating music with my old Apple IIe!

Adolfo Barreto did an amazing job choreographing as he patiently waited for the music which I delivered to him last minute… like really last minute, lol. Thanks Adolfo for your patience and for executing the vision brilliantly.

Kelly Hamilton provided the lasers, and I gotta say, seeing her on top of a ladder feverishly working on cabling the ethernet cables to connect all the lasers to her computer while doing production coordination for the event, the dinner that evening, dock scheduling, fire and pyro coordination and a myriad of other things is humbling. Also, good job on balancing on a ladder with a laser!

Thanks to Michael Forsch our Stage Manager who is not only one of the nicest people around but a true professional and incredibly calm under pressure.

Dima and Jonathan, kudos on trimming the stage with LED lights Tron-style. When other companies wanted a small fortune from our client to do this, we did it in record time and added DMX control to the board operator (shout out to Claudio Mancinelli!)

Cheers everyone!
