人不可貌相啊～這位怪蔬蔬就是寫了很多膾炙人口的遊戲配樂的作曲家啊
Super Mario, Zelda, Star Fox...大部分歌曲都是他完成的

New Idea

最近新型態的演奏會舞台上面都會放個螢幕，
除了近距離的演奏攝影外，有時候還有音樂相關的畫面
例如：http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A-A3lXP8tQ

我在想，我的下一場鋼琴"演奏會"也要這樣搞
但是沒有人幫我，只能自己手動換畫面
但這樣太麻煩了...我覺得應該有那種音樂軟體，
先設定好聽到哪個旋律就播放已經設置好的動畫

簡單方法可以先全套錄好，但表演者每次演奏速度不一樣，所以
換畫面的時機是無法先預測的
所以如果是由電腦換，不但可以少一個人作這件事，
時機也可以抓很準，而且可以延伸成改變播放影片的速度來配合音樂
在symphony的表演中也可以設定演奏到哪裡時要把螢幕切換到幾號攝影機

這個做得好的話，應用還蠻廣的吧～而且技術方面應該不難，只要能正確判斷旋律
不知道有沒有這種軟體？我很需要!!

Video Games Live!

在這裡的好處是可以比較有機會參與"小眾"(特殊愛好者)的表演
這個樂團叫 Video Game Live! 會在各處巡迴表演。有機會一定要去聽聽~~
