“Harmonious,” one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney park. While the technology, including pyrotechnics, choreographed moving fountains, lighting, massive LED panels, and media are impressive, it’s the music that pulls the story together. The show features new interpretations of classic Disney songs in more than a dozen languages, performed by a diverse group of 240 artists from around the world, including Luis Fonsi, Joy, Danny Gokey, and the Ndlovu Youth Choir.
I spent some time with Clint Clarke, Audio Designer for Disney Parks Live Entertainment. We talked about the impact of music and the process of Designing the Audio for one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created in a Disney park.

Sam has been visiting Walt Disney World since 1986. The spark from those early trips lead to an interest in the "How" and "Why" behind Disney Parks and Resorts and the thrill of discovering the history of how we got here today. That History is still being written. In addition to participating on The Disney Nerds Podcast you can find blogs at www.samsdisneydiary.com
