Origami

[@lightspeed417]

Trivia....I produced and played all the instruments on this "Japanese World" song for Siegfried and Roy’s Origami Box piece of their show. That's me shouting the quasi-Japanese intro, "Ichiban....Rock and roll!!!!" Trivia: the lead vocal is sung by the same guy (Jeffrey Pescetto) who sang the "Ducktales" theme, which I had also arranged. This song was originally part of a musical theater production called "Butterfly", written by film/TV composer Craig Safan and songwriter Mark Mueller (Crush, I Am Blessed, Ducktales, Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers). Unfortunately, their "Butterfly" Musical theater show never got beyond a workshop performance at Goodspeed Opera house. It was around the same time as M. Butterfly, so that theme was edged out by the big Broadway producer money behind M. B. S&R heard the demo of the song somehow and loved it for their show. I was given the task of re-recording the song with full production and extra background vocals (Debbie Davis and Shelby Flint)..... It was performed hundreds of times in Las Vegas, etc.

Amazing song! This is the perfect song for this illusion. I can't imagine this illusion without this song. Wow

[@srcwxxa6332]

By far my favorite illusion of all time. Slick, precise movements by S&R and their assistant, great music and well designed costumes.
