The Man Behind FS music at Olympics - Article

[Ladskater]

It's funny after watching so many FS events I never think about the person running the music. Here is a good article from that perspective.

For the last month, Anderson has been on a whirlwind trip. First arriving in South Korea in early February, he was contracted to compile music for the figure skaters, organize it, then, along with the help of six other Korean volunteers, supervised the playing of it at practices and during medal rounds.

This isn’t his first go at the Olympics either. He also complied music during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

6 volunteers + flying in Murray Anderson into Seoul? That's a lot more manpower than I thought it would be ... I guess it's harder than it looks. I wish the article went into what goes into playing the right song at the right time
