The Significance of Music in Second Life
2007-08-16 03:33:00 Sunday, August 05, 2007The Significance of Music in Second Life Thank you to the author of this articleJohn von/Johnvon Watanabe( http://www.johnvon.info/ )Music has always been a social art form, created and enjoyed by people in groups. Some argue that music was one of the primary means by which early groups of humans communicated and maintained the social bonds that held their communities together.Since the invention of music recording however, about a century ago, technological developments have made the experience of music a more and more private activity. Once music could be purchased for listening at home, the possibility of enjoying music in private by yourself became a more and more popular alternative to attending performances. This has led to our current iPod era, where the most iconic image of a music listener is of a solitary individual dancing with mp3 player and earphones attached, rather than the more social concert or club audiences of earlier periods.More recently, ...

ASCAP and BMI Announce Launch of Online Music Cue Sheet Technology RapidCue
2007-08-16 02:28:00 As mentioned before, BMI is in SL. Still after the interview, many are really bothered that BMI was welcomed in by Funky House Club. The general feeling is just to steer clear of BMI. The club owners and DJs I wanted to interview did not want to go on record for the concern that BMI is the enemy, and they all need to be avoided.... that is unless your music gets on their licensing service.From the ASCAP website:ASCAP and BMI Announce Launch of Online Music Cue Sheet Technology RapidCueOnline standard set for electronic submission of music cue sheet data forTelevision, Cable and Film music usageAugust 14, 2007 - NEW YORK - ASCAP and BMI, the leading U.S. performing rights organizations (PROs), have announced RapidCue, a state-of-the-art cue sheet technology for the use of music in the film, TV and cable industries.

"Asian Variations" by Moshang Zhao - Various Artists, Remixed by Moshang
2007-08-15 14:04:00 About the album The Asian Variations album is a collection of remixes produced by MoShang in his Chinese Chill style of downtempo electronica, melding deeply laid-back beats with Chinese traditional instruments. Some of these remixes were solicited by the original artists, two were done for remix competitions, and in some cases MoShang approached artists directly requesting permission to remix their work. The artists represented on the album are literally from all over the globe; The U.S.A. (Fort Minor, Toao, Lovespirals, Brad Reason), Taiwan (Kou Chou Ching, Chang Jui-chuan, Viba, Andre van Rensburg, MoShang), South Africa (Gordon’s Suitcase), Japan (Akihiko Matsumoto & Chage), Italy (Big Red Devil), and Slovenia (PureH) and for the most part the collaboration with MoShang was via the web. With the exception of Fort Minor and J-pop star, Chage, none of the artists are signed to major labels and all are working hard to be heard.Visit the download page to download the com...

An Interview with Charming Babii & Danni Dollinger, Owners of Funky Hou
2007-08-15 02:02:00 As I reported a day earlier HERE there was upset when the Funky House Club announced it would be taking on BMI as a sponsor. I promosed an interview for both Funky House Club owners as well as for all of the DJs, artists, club owners, and partygoers that may have been concerned about BMI's long-term SL plans.I was joined by Charm ing Babii & Danni Dollinger, the owners of the Funky House Club (FHC) in Second Life. Recently they had advised the DJ/Music/Club scene that BMI has joined their endeavors as a sponsor.Generally, most musicians and DJs have varying conceptions & misconceptions about BMI (more about BMI here). When the Funky House Club sent their news, it was met with congratulations, but also confusion, suspicion, and anger. Charmi ng, Danni, and I were anxious to sit down and discuss more specifically FHC’s new projects, what BMI as a sponsor means,& what will BMIs presence in SL mean to other club owners and artists, performers, and djs.--This text transcript has bee...

BMI to Sponsor Funky House Club - Some Congratulate, While Others are Very
2007-08-13 22:41:00 BMI is a performing right organization: It collects license fees on behalf of its songwriters, composers and music publishers and distributes them as royalties to those members whose works have been performed. Generally in the USA, BMI requires licences from live music venues, and sometimes the performer. In real life, If a venue has musicians performing music on BMI's roster, DJs playing music, or even an Ipod for background music, then the venue is required to buy a contract from BMI. (ASCAP is also another company that requires a public music performance licences)DJ Charming Babii is one of SL's top DJs. He is co-owner of Funky House Club and frequent performer. The Funky House Club has scored an amazing opportunity:From Funky House Club (Charming Babii via notecard):"BMI is the largest performing rights organisation in the world. A quick scan of BMI’s legendary roster turns up such names as John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Dave Brubeck, Willie Nelson, The Eagles, The... More About: Sponsor , Funky house

New Track by Brad Reason - "In The Back Of Vega"
2007-08-09 05:29:00 Lately I've been hanging out at SL clubs listening to great DJs, and I'd get the itch to mix with them or create my tunes along with what they're spinning. I call it 'client side mixing' I suspect many other DJs in SL do this... where they're hanging and listening to an excellent DJ, and then they have that desire to want to spin with em.Tonight I was at Club Vega listening to DJ Evermore Noel. Excellent DJ!So I was inspired to make a track during the set.This is sort of a minimal funky house track, good for mixing in with other tracks.Download it here until this link doesn't work anymore.After that it will be available in my Second Tunes vendor.

The New Reality - The Hardest Part is Getting Noticed - From: The LefsetzLe
2007-07-31 17:35:00 The New Reality The hardest part is getting noticed. (From The LefsetzLetter: First in Music Analysis)There are numerous media competing for the audience’s mindspace. And numerous musical enterprises/records as well. So, the plan must center first around getting attention, not getting paid.In the old days, the major labels controlled a finite landscape. They had what was perceived to be the best music, and they owned both radio and retail, which were the major ways of learning about music. So, there were few companies with few products fighting over little mindspace. Furthermore, you had to buy the product to experience it.Now we live in a land of abundance. There are tens of thousands of acts and albums emerging/coming to market every year, the majors don’t necessarily have the best, and just about all of them can be experienced at the listener’s leisure, on the Web. The question is how do you get people to listen?If you’ve got a pop confection, the major labels are the plac... More About: Part , Ality

UK Techno Legend Luke Slater at Alpha Box - Mar 1, 2007
2007-03-02 08:33:00 Bigtime industry DJ Luke Slate r (Planetary Jacks in SL) dropped a live set at Alpha Box. Luke is one of the UK techno pioneers and the SL EDM crowd certainly knew it'd be a treat to have him spin in-world. The sim was full and it wasn't even an announced event. 40 people squished into a small 512 black box. Although the club build was a complete laggy hassle, filled with resource-sucking animations, large filesized pictures that never rezzed beyond gray, and overlapping rotating lights, the event was a treat and the people had a great time. Thank you Thinker Moy for producing this event. And thank you Astryd Moore for the heads up about this event; good lookin' out. More About: Techno , Tech , Late

Architect (electronic musician) and delivered a great radio show (which was broadcast from 91.7fm San Antonio, Texas and into Second Life). I really enjoyed the format of the show (with a studio/living room setting) that weaved from talks about A.M. Architect's music and influences to playing his original tracks mixed in with music to fit the same flavor of genres.Lots of friends and familiar faces came out...

Dark Machines & STEED Drop the Beats HEAVY @ Le Cube
2007-02-23 01:49:00 I happened to venture to a party in the late afternoon. DJ Dark Mac hines Hax was droppin' some HUUGE heavy breaks. I'd never been to Le Cube http://slurl.com/secondlife/Solchan/142/1 05/52/ but the place was happening, and the DJs obviously have skill. It was a very refreshing experience, proving that SL is a great place to find true DJ talent from across the globe. Elecktro Newman seemed to be producer/promoter of the event. After Darkmachines came another resident DJ, STEED Schlesinger. He immediately caught my attention as well with his booty breaks and funk joints.I was thuroughly impressed with the fact that these DJs broadcast a video feed as well. I would love to do this myself, but can't manage to get enough bandwidth goin' for me. I'm glad to see more and more RL professional DJs are making their way to play parties in SL.
