[viralmonitor] Holst's The Planets - Remixed

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Gustav Holst's classical spectacular The Planets by has been used widely in
pop culture including The Man Who Fell to Earth starring David  Bowie,
whilst the menacing Mars: The Bringer of War has been heard in everything
from TV documentaries to the background music for Nintendo Super Mario Bros
3. Similarities have also been drawn between Holst's Mars and film scores
including the music of Gladiator (Hans Zimmer) and the Imperial March from
Star Wars composed by John Williams.

And now for the first time ever, the public can remix The Planets and listen
to a new companion piece called Worlds, Stars, Systems, Infinity. 

 

Combining innovative use of technology and a 39 camera shoot - the biggest
multi-camera recording of a classical music work of its kind - users can
choose which section of the orchestra to follow as they play the piece, or
create their own audio-visual version of the piece by reshuffling and
reordering audio samples on a timeline.

This latest project forms part of our ongoing digital PR and social media
campaign for The Space, the new digital arts service developed by Arts
Council England in partnership with the BBC.

Over and out.
