$6,000,000

Ok you ask why am I sharing news of the $6,000,000 pledge goal made on Nov 19, 2012 Because of this posted 2 weeks ago.

Howdy folks!

I'm delighted to announce that on Friday next week (25th October), we are going to record some Star Citizen music with a 75-piece orchestra. It's the Capellen Orchestra located in the Czech Republic. The music they will perform has been composed by Pedro Macedo Camacho... same guy who brought you the current Launcher music, the 300i commercial music and the Aurora commercial music.

Obviously we will have lots more to tell you after the session, but I just wanted you to know where we're at with our plans to honour the commitment we made to you way back on November 10th 2012, during our overnight Star Citizen event, when your pledges totalled $6,000,000. Pedro, Chris and I have been planning this all year.

Here are a couple of videos of the orchestra in action, working on previous projects. While the music is not from our game, the videos were made with the exact same musicians, performance venue, microphones and conductor as we will use next week for Star Citizen. So you get an idea of the sound quality that can be achieved. Once again - this is NOT music from Star Citizen, and NOT from the Star Citizen music composer.

Here's an interview with the orchestra's director, Petr Pololanik. If you are prepared to watch all of this there's a lot to glean about the details of running and orchestra and how to make it sound awesome.
