BENOIT ARRANGES "VIDEO GAMES LIVE" FEATURING "GUITAR HERO"
-Benoît recently arranged and orchestrated a new score for the live concert phenomenon known as "Video Games Live". This was an exclusive presentation of the legendary rock band Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion" featuring an audience member playing the popular Activision "Guitar Hero" game version of this song live in real time with symphony orchestra. The debut reprfomace in Dallas, Texas was received so passionately by the audience, that it was reported that one couldn't hear the Rock Band or the orchestra over the cheers from the audience!
This project was the brainchild of the two co-founders of VGL: Jack Wall and Tommy Tallarico. You may know of Tommy's cousin, Steve Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith.
