Fans of French electronic composer Anthony Gonzalez (better known as M83) are familiar with his capacity for creating vibrant and electrifying compositions. This is the man, after all, who named his hit 2011 album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. It makes sense, then, that Gonzalez was tapped to pen the soundtrack for Volta, the latest touring show from Canada’s high-flying performance troupe, Cirque du Soleil. The big show under the big top comes to San Jose this week. Combining traditional acrobatics and elements of action sports with the company’s standard psychedelic palette, it promises to be an extravagant and exciting entertainment experience.
