Video: flOw Like You've Never Heard It Before

[PS3 News]

Today flOw Composer Austin Wintory has shared a video dubbed "The World of flOw" via the PlayStation Blog.

It was conducted by Austin Wintory and performed by the Golden State Pops Orchestra on May 16, 2009.

To quote: I have a cool treat for fans of flOw! Ever since completing the original score for the game (shockingly, already more than 2 years ago!!!) it was my dream to adapt the music for live performance by an orchestra.

Obviously the in-game music was entirely electronic, with the exception of choral voices, but I had an idea floating around my brain (somewhat resembling the jelly fish, careening out of control after spinning too quickly) for how to handle an adaptation.

Well, the opportunity finally came thanks to Steven Allen Fox and the http://www.gspo.com/ based here in Los Angeles.

On May 16 they performed an all game music concert featuring scores to Afrika, God of War (the Guitar Hero rendition), Final Fantasy VII, World of Warcraft and others. I was proud to feature flOw in that lineup and later cut together a little video combining the concert footage with some in-game footage. I hope you enjoy it!!!

And if you want to just listen, the mp3 of the concert performance can be found here.

Also here was Jayson Napolitano's http://www.originalsoundversion.com/?p=2934 of the concert from "Original Sound Version."
