Sons of Mozart
What we do?
We make music that resembles the classical style as much as possible. Our band is trying to compose and arrange music that have an interesting polyphonic tune instead of the basic rap drum beats with nice lyrics. While the use of themes is classical, we try to give the music a modern touch with the introduction of guitars and drums.
What are we trying to accomplish?
Nothing. Just making music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My band started with an idea to reproduce a song from a video game. I got together I few violinists and we started playing. Soon after, we were given multiple chances to perform. While all the band has not yet performed as a whole at any occasions of importance, we have however played at several receptions and ceremonies.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
The first time our band played is during our school concert. We got significant applauses and people loved us. This is when started taking our band business seriously. The second time we played live was at the Royal York hotel in downtown Toronto. It was a marvelous experience. We are planning for a charity concert in Toronto in April.
Your musical influences
Ironically, the biggest influence on our music is NOT from Mozart even though he did contribute a lot to our musical development which is still very much in process. Our biggest influence is from Nobuo Uematsu who not only writes EXCELLENT string quartets and orchestral pieces, he also produces marvelous vocal pieces as well. Alas, if only he didn't work for a gaming company, his music would win international acclaim.
Anything else?
It is quite a shame to say that most of the music here is actually computer generated. Done my a midi interface and saved as a mp3 file. Unless otherwises specified, the songs are played by a computer.
We will try our best to play these songs with real instruments.
