final fantasy - “what do you think will happen next?”

canadian indie band final fantasy (aka owen pallett) performs at schuba’s in chicago 10.12.07

owen is a brilliant, classically trained violinist whose music is simply magical (in fact, his last album “he poos clouds” was intended to “illustrate” the 8 schools of magic from “dungeons and dragons”); this video is a good demonstration of owen’s on stage “looping” process

    the 8 schools of magic are Dungeons & Dragons, nothing to do with the Final Fantasy videogames.

    i’m not going to argue with you, especially since googling this guy is a . . . but it’s hard for me to complain about someone who makes such pretty

    He’s brilliant, but why the call himself ‘Final Fantasy’ when that name is already associated so heavily with a massive video-game franchise, known for it’s music much more than Mr Pallett?

    He should stick to his real name, or make up an original stage name

    i don’t have the 7″ tracks, but thetorturegarden posted this one (you can search for it on hype machine), and you can stream “hey,dad!” at stereogum

    both are stunning

    Final Fantasy is a project about video games.
    Owen Pallet is the one who created the project.

    Final Fantasy as a video-game franchise began in 1987. Owen Pallett was born in 1979. Did he create Final Fantasy when he was 8?

    Besides, it makes no sense. His stage name has no relevance.
