Second-Life and the future of the Music Industry

SL Music Study

Temple University Japan have been doing a study on the SL music scene, where a number of people inlcuding myself have been prototyping the future of music in virtual spaces.

The students have looked at various aspects of the music scene and have done some nice posters up illustrating their findings.

I streamed a short SL concert into the Real Life gallery space in Design Festa, Harajuku, Tokyo last night with Noma Falta joining me on Bass.vox from Atlanta via Ninjam. It was a borderline event in technical terms;-) but I think everyone had fun and it illustrated some ideas of what we are doing on the bleeding edge of performing inside virtual spaces to the real world.

The SecondTimes web magazine in Japan has an article on the exhibition (japanese).

I’ll add a link to the Temple University website of the exhibition when it is up.

I’ve been working on other projects the last year so this blog was put on the backburner, but I’m about to start blogging a couple of times a week on the new paradigm music business and the future of the music industry.

Stay Tuned!
