[Thor 9,362]

That's cool. It's from the DVD, I guess. I wasn't in Tenerife, but I saw a similiar program in Krakow two years ago, also conducted by Navarro. Fantastic experience, especially since it was held in a huge steel mill hall. So appropriate for the music.

[crocodile 9,724]

Yeah it was really cool. The only difference was it had a hugely expanded Alien 3 section, which was very interesting. And it seemed better performed, at least in my opinion.

Agreed. Loved the massive choral version of one of the finale tracks (that don't have choir in the original), in particular.

I saw a bit in the Alien 3 segment.

What is the computer doing which shows in some scenes?

[Sharkissimo 1,978]

Sound design, triggering samples etc.

What Prometheus said. I know that in the case of Krakow concert Goldenthal brought the guy who did the electronic programming for the score in the film with him for the occasion to perform the score as intended on stage.
