Hello and welcome! You've used the QR-Code in the "Live on Stage: Sacks on 45 - LBP Medley" level and great! You just became participant of an innovative experiment and found your way to this thread, where you can find additional information about
- the making of the level and the music - the original "Stars on 45" project, which has been the template for the LBP medley - the rebuilding of scenes out of the LBP2 story levels - the light effect machine used in the level and created by aleparad - some info about the mysterious creator called CuriousSack
So lets start the show!
From a Request to a LBP Music Medley:
From a Request to a LBP Music Medley
In 2013 my friend kingkom asked me, whether I could do a medley made of different LBP music titles for him! I said yes without any idea, how to do such a medley! But cause I'm not the youngest anymore, I remembered the "Stars on 45" project of the 1980s and decided to do the LBP medley exactly that way! The "Stars on 45" theme should become the frame for some of my favorite LBP music titles, 5 titles in shortened versions on the basis of an uniform disco beat. Differing from the original "Stars on 45" medleys I added some transitions between the music titles to moderate the changing of the melodies. With this concept I started the execution of the request. I chose following LBP melodies for the medley:
- My Patch - Girly Goodie two Shoes - Sleepyhead - Left Bank Two - Rainbow Warrior
and - Stars on 45 Theme
What? The titles are sounding familiar, but you just can't remember the music??... Ok, I see the problem! Maybe the following records could be helpful!
The original songs:
aaand the re-mixed songs:
Its been a lot of experimenting to adjust the melodies so that they could be combined with the basic rhythm and speed of the "Stars on 45" theme! But finally I got an acceptable result and kingkom has been content, too!
From a LBP Music Medley nearly to a LBP Level Medley:
From a LBP Music Medley nearly to a LBP Level Medley
After some time I had the idea to use the LBP music medley as the basis of an own level! I thought of a combination of the LBP music medley and a LBP level medley! And so I started to rebuild some sceneries out of the story levels (btw, a wonderful exercise to improve the own decorating skills!) But then the whole idea of rebuilding different playable story level sceneries seemed to be too intricate to me and my interest turned towards my third music gallery, and so I stopped working on the LBP level medley idea!
The "Stars on 45" Project:
The "Stars on 45" Project
The "Stars on 45" project was founded by the Dutch producer Jaap Eggermont in 1980, inspired by a bootleg of mixed Beatles songs and other oldies. To avoid copyright problems he made the songs be reproduced by studio musicians true to original. This mixture of different songs was brought to an uniform disco beat and provided with the refrain "The stars on 45 keep on turning in your mind..." The 45 in the project name means a single record on vinyl which was played with a rotation speed of 45 per minute. Published in 1981 the Beatles/Oldies - Medley became a million seller and number 1 hit in the USA. Followed by medleys of ABBA hits, mixes of songs of Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones and many others more. (source: Wikipedia)
Here a little journey back in time, feel yourself in the 1980s:
An Old Idea gets a New Impulse:
After working on my third music gallery for 10 months, I felt, that I needed a break! A little pause from "Pirates of the Caribbean" themed sceneries! I wanted to do something different! I wanted to compose! And so I brought an old idea into use! On my moon I found a "Live Stage" that I've built for my "Give me Five" level! And then I got a new idea! I wanted to do a "Live on Stage" level series to present some of my compositions to the community! I had the "Live Stage", I had the "LBP music medley" and I had some rebuilt LBP story level sceneries! So it seemed only natural to present the "LBP Music Medley" on the "Live Stage" and to insert some "LBP story level sceneries"!
