A documentary film about Aldrin and Armstrong's lunar conquest was projected on a large screen, accompanied by a specially-commissioned live orchestral soundtrack called A Symphonic Voyage to the Moon written and directed by Emmy Award-winning composer, John Scott, who wrote soundtracks for blockbusters including King Kong and The Saint.
The festival's technical audio manager, Serge Babkine, chose an iLive system, comprising an iDR10 MixRack and iLive-144 Control Surface, to mix and record the score that was performed on the night by the 90-strong Jules Verne Adventures (JVA) symphony orchestra.
To produce a CD and DVD of the performance, an EtherSound feed was taken from the iDR10 and sent to an ES/AES converter to provide 40-tracks for Pro Tools, and also to an LX6464ES Digigram PC card to record 64-tracks on Cubase.
