In 2019 I was invited to perform at the Prague Film Music Festival as a support act for Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, who were performing their music from the "Stranger Things" Netflix series. Luckily, I had made this cover for the FedCon festival back in 2017 already (thanks for reminding me, StargateGoddess! - no wonder I got a burnout that year), and since I was to perform after the main act, I thought it appropriate to make my own version of the theme. Since I was to perform after the main act, I thought it appropriate to present my own version of the theme. Now the theme is really short - only one minute long - so I expanded for FedCon with the The Force Theme from Star Wars by John Williams, turning it into a medley. The medley stayed in my repertoire for my last shows in 2017 and the whole of 2019. This video was filmed when I performed it live at Kuudes Linja in Helsinki, on the 22nd of May, 2019.
Thanks to Mika Knuutila and Jonatan Flinck for operating the cameras, and Sebastian "Baba" Sjöblom for the light show! Also, a big hand to Jørgen L. Ellefsen for the pompous background visuals!
I performed the tune using only analog synthesizers, with some parts played live and some parts sequenced. The performance was recorded directly from the mixer to a stereo track, and was later mixed together with the ambience from the room.
