We hear an awful lot about remakes and remasters in 2017. What you don't hear quite so much is orchestral remakes.
George Oldziey is a producer and composer based in Austin, Texas. Over the last decade, he worked on the music for Sin City 2 and orchestrated the music for Kill Bill 2 and the original Sin City. But Oldziey also has plenty of credits working with video game compositions, including Wing Commander 3, 4 and Wing Commander: Prophecy.
But there was only so much budget for video game music in the Wing Commander days, and Oldziey wants to go revisit his old music. So he started a Kickstarter, which has successfully passed its goal, to re-record his Wing Commander compositions with a live orchestra.
Wing Commander: Prophecy is the fifth installment in the Wing Commander science fiction space combat simulator franchise of computer games. The game was released in 1997, produced by Origin Systems and Italy-based Raylight Studios for the GBA, and distributed by Electronic Arts. Welcome to the Wing Commander Wikia, a Wikia for the Wing Commander fictional universe - games, books, and movies! Before you begin to add to the wiki please look over the Policies (Canon, Shared universe, and Unreliable narrators). We over here in the Combat Information Center could use help finding intelligence on the following topics.
The campaign, as it stands, will fund the following:
* Preparation and creation of all tracks for recording
* Physical reproduction of the new scores and parts
* Digital MIDI tracks for all of the music
* Recording of WC3’s jazzy bar music with live musicians
* Physical reproduction of the new scores and parts
* Digital MIDI tracks for all of the music
* Recording of WC3’s jazzy bar music with live musicians
As an added bonus to keep everyone entertained during the campaign, Oldziey also posted a software playback of an unnamed track from the Wing Commander series. It was orchestrated using the original MIDI file as a reference, because doing straight instrumental translations from MIDI files almost 25 years old doesn't work that well, apparently.
