ACCORDION DREAMS - PBS - Hector Galán
Production Team: Galán Incorporated, GraphX Creative, Zentropy Partners, Sony Corporation, Animation Dynamics, MediaXi, RespondTV, Microsoft TV and James Brennan.

The ACCORDION DREAMS enhanced TV prototype captures the same vitality and excitement of the documentary through a rich, connected community experience. Utilizing a unique technology, the experience showcases the vibrant sounds of Conjunto music and its artisans, and expands the user's knowledge of an American tradition that is rich in culture and history.

Developed as a unique DVD hybrid, and utilizing the Blendo engine and the Sony PlayStation2 platform for the first time as a non-gaming title, the prototype offers both a personal solo experience as well as the opportunity for community building, commerce, and advertising sponsorships. Like the music, the prototype experience is transgenerational - bridging the generation gap for a total family experience.
