Chopin’s Day in the Sun
…I can’t be sure if it’ll be a good day for him, though.
Yup. Taking the concept of Guitar Hero and combining it with Chopin’s music, these people are creating a game known as “Music Master: Chopin.” This includes taking Chopin’s music, and remixing it to support vocals and rock arrangements (most likely meaning guitar and drum).
So, imagine pressing buttons to the time of a rock arrangement of:
Hmm…I’m not so sure about that.
And then, of course, there’s this lovely cartoon that I recall hanging on the office door of the Orchestra room.
Really, guys. It was only a joke. You didn’t need to take them seriously.
Of course, I haven’t actually seen the game yet. But so far, I’m sensing that something meant to honor Chopin is going to backfire and make a great joke of him. I have nothing wrong with his usage in video games. I love Eternal Sonata. I like running around, completing pieces of the story and other quests in search of a few more measures of music and getting to listen to another piece while I learn a little more about the person behind it. What I’m on the edge about is turning his music into something it was never meant to be.
