PLAY! to feature music from Oblivion
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 19, 2006 - JMP Productions announced today that music from the best-selling role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, composed by award winning artist Jeremy Soule, is going to be an exclusive part of the PLAY! world-premiere in Chicago on May 27th, 2006. PLAY! A Video Game Symphony is a symphony concert world-tour featuring music from a catalogue of blockbuster video game titles.
The partnership includes a free give-away, sponsored by DirectSong.com. Every PLAY! concert brochure in Chicago will come with a flyer offering a code to download the Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Soundtrack for free, worth $9.99 each.
Says Jason Michael Paul, producer of PLAY!: "We are very proud to feature Oblivion as part of our concert series. Jeremy Soule's music is a must for any video game music fan. The generous contribution of DirectSong.com gives attendess the opportunity to take his wonderful music home with them.".
Says Jeremy Soule: "Oblivion is one of the finest games ever made and it is one of the year's top sellers. As the composer of Oblivion, I'm very proud that PLAY! has chosen to feature my music amongst a full program that consists of the best talents of our industry.
PLAY! is unique among the numerous touring V(ideo) G(ame) M(usic) concerts in that it features the original and authentic arrangements as endorsed by the composers. PLAY!'s Chicago event is also unmatched in the number of top composers who will be in attendance. The concert presents a very historic opportunity to meet some of our industry's legends such Nobuo Uematsu of Final Fantasy, Koji Kondo of Super Mario Bros. and Yuzo Koshiro of Sonic the Hedgehog. In addition to myself, you won't find these composers gathered together at any other video game music event. I'm also delighted that DirectSong wants everyone who attends the PLAY! concert in Chicago to have a FREE Official Oblivion soundtrack via a special Internet download code. Don't miss this concert! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and this looks to be the best VGM concert ever!".
