TONIGHT 4PM SL ! The Cafe Tour with Shannon Oherlihy and Grace McDunnough Begins

7/1/2011

Top Ten reasons to join Shannon Oherlily and Grace McDunnough on the Cafe Tour:

10. It may be hotter than hell where you are but all the grid cafes are green-certified and air conditioned.

9. You've worn a rut in your teleport path which is why you keep crashing - you need to mix it up a bit.

8. You can increase your IQ just by listening.

7. Rumor has it that a special blend of small batch grid Irish whiskey will be available

6. @Rodvik is our lead roadie responsible for fueling the creativity engine, but we can't tell anyone that, so skip to #5.

5. We're giving away a rare breed of "uh-oh" Meeroos for a small, albeit recurring donation

4. Attendance guarantees entry into the FIC of the month club and commemorative red beret

3. There is no #3 - I mean, there *was* a #3 but we switched viewers and now we can't find it anywhere

2. Grace is debuting a new song "Long Slow Fall" - no really, she is.

and the #1 reason to join the tour ....

1. Shannon will be doing an entire set of Tiny Tim hits .. no, really she is.

Our first stop is Mocha Fey, July 1st at 4pm SL. Hope to see you there!

Musimmersion featured in Music Ally Report: New musical frontiers in virtual worlds

7/25/2010

I had the chance to comment on a Music Ally feature on the future of virtual worlds written by Michael Mascioni.

Some independent musicians are taking music experiences in virtual worlds in even more far-reaching directions. Grace McDunnough, for example, has been pioneering innovative musical experiences in virtual worlds that fuse music with art and 3D spaces. She did a special music production in Second Life in 2009 called Musimmersion 2 that she describes as a “musical journey” and “performance art experience,” which married music and diverse 3D environments.

McDunnough believes the music industry has been largely shortsighted in its assessment of virtual worlds, mistakenly viewing virtual worlds in terms of “existing metaphors and standards”, such as the ability of virtual worlds to “precisely replicate expectations based on real world experiences, which isn’t possible”.

You can find the entire report here, the story is on page 6.
