You like games, right? Perhaps you also like the occasional spot of anime? Might you also be a fan of music? Well, step this way, friend, because we've got quite the deal for you.

Eminence is coming to the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Saturday 26 September, 2009, performing for one night only. Tickets are already on sale, but why pay money like a chump when you can go for free?

We've got ten double passes to A Night in Fantasia 2009 to give away, and ten lucky forum members will score one. And not just any double passes, but A reserve seats worth $95 a pop.

Want to know more about the show? The official spiel reads thusly:
Featuring a full Symphony Orchestra, a mind blowing choir, special guest performers and boasting a score of popular tracks from the worlds of video games and anime, ‘A Night in Fantasia 2009’ is being billed as the biggest, boldest and best concert in the ‘A Night in Fantasia’ series to ever be held.

A Night in Fantasia 2009 will feature a host of special guest stars who will fly in from the USA and Japan specially to be involved in this epic event.

“We are really looking forward to presenting A Night in Fantasia 2009 as it’s going to be such a huge event, featuring so many wonderful pieces of music, musicians, world class composers and other special guests,” commented Hiroaki Yura, Founder and Director of Eminence Artists.

The concert will feature a score of arrangements - many of them as originally done by the composers – spanning the games and anime genres, with a focus on western music not before seen in the ‘A Night in Fantasia’ series.

The score of tracks to be performed include AFRIKA, Ace Combat V, Darksiders: Wrath of War, Dragon Age: Origins, Metal Gear Solid, Prince of Persia, Red Alert 3, Shadow of the Colossus and a wide range of anime titles, including Astro Boy (which will hit cinemas in September), Studio Ghibli, Totora, Laputa, Princess Monoke, Deathnote, Steamboy and many, many more…

Sound pretty good? Want to wrap your hands around one of those double passes? Awesome. Here's what we want you to do:

Create a video of yourself playing a game or anime theme, upload it to YouTube, and post it in this thread. (And so we're sure you made it for us, have a copy of Hyper visible at some point in the video.)

How you do this is entirely up to you. You can play it on a guitar, on a harmonica, or with coconut shells. You can play it with a line of glasses filled up with different levels of water, with spoons, or on the bald head of your next door neighbour. Make a level in LittleBigPlanet if you like. If you want to sing it, that's cool too. Basically, anything goes, so have some fun with it. We'll be picking the best ten based on musical talent and creativity.

Entries will close at 12:01am on September 1, 2009.

Good luck!

Time to delve into GHTunes or Music 2000, me thinks!


Or even though it's been done to death, I'll get the ole acapella group back together for one last go on top of Moe's Tavern.

Hello!
This is my first post but I hope that won't dent my chances of getting one of those double passes to the concert.
My video will be posted up soon, I'll edit this post as soon as it is ready.
Thanks.

EDIT:

I know there are a few mistakes, but I've tried my best to fulfil the criteria of "musical talent" and "creativity".
Hopefully, you can see the "musical talent" throughout, and the "creativity" in the slight changes I've made myself, and the improvisation at the end.

Yeah...hope you like it.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee................

Alright Spud, I reckon it's time we bust out the old equipment and rock the house.

Well the main problem is I don't have a video camera. >_>

What about a digital stills camera with a video function?

The problem is I don't live in NSW, if I did I'd upload a video of me masturbating a Guitar Hero guitar's neck in mere minutes.

I have no idea what you just said. That's how video camera challenged I am! Although I could just go and find a cheap web cam to do the job...

The problem is I don't live in NSW, if I did I'd upload a video of me masturbating a Guitar Hero guitar's neck in mere minutes.

Upload it anyway and say it's me. It's win-win for everyone!

...oh crap, I said that out loud on the forums, didn't I?

Get a normal digital camera and make a .gif of what I said I'd do.

The only problem I'm going to have is filming myself - I've only got my iPhone to do video and no one to hold it :/

I'm thinking a combo vid set to some final fantasy music where like a punch is like a note of the song

I'm becoming a fairly decent guitarist, mayhaps...

and creativity.
...oh. Would have to be one hell of a guitar for creativity.

Old primary school recorder it is, then! >_>

Easiest competition ever! :D

Unless I've got it totally wrong :(

Oh, question: can I record a backing track?

Darren

I suppose that's alright. Providing you're still actually playing something yourself, that is! (No miming urethras or other body parts)

Eminence is totally worth the price, loved the concert from.... um some time in the last 3 years I went to in Melbourne.

Be sure to keep some cash and pick up some of their previous concerts on CD /DVD that they usually have for sale on the night.

HelOOOO!!
I've updated my post on page one.
That will be my submission for this competition, it's not as creative as the ideas I've read on this thread, but it's the best I could come up with.
Have a look :)

It's Eternity of Lightwaves from Final Fantasy, great song, the original that is xD

They've been a bit slack with the Melbourne concerts in recent times, as in they mostly play in Sydney, but I can't blame them if that's were some of them live.

they're double passes, so if you win, you already have 2...unless you were referring to TWO double passes which equals to 4 tickets...

and just cause you post, doesn't mean you win, it's the 10 best entries, based on musical talent and creativity.

Oh dear christ. :eek:

If I had time, I figure I'd opt for either Green Forest of Sonic Adventure 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HaGJ7UjG7w), or one of the desert themes from Golden Sun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mpru5Pru3s). I would've also wanted to try something from Majora's Mask, but you probably can't do it full justice without the timbre of that gnarly flute-thing.

Don't hold your breath for an entry from me, though. :(

It's 'processing' so please count it even if it you can't see it past the deadline...

The song is Allegro Cantabile and was used in the opening of the anime Nodame Cantabile. Musical creativity can be seen from my skillful winging =P

Well, I guess that's that! I must say that the musical skills of those who entered were beyond what I was expecting -- I would have been happy with someone banging out the Super Mario Bros. theme on a platic bucket, but I got some real talent. Cheers to those who took the time to enter.
