Symposium on Creativity: Live Music With Chronic Skronski

CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Aug 16, 2007 10:46am

As a special, fun event, yesterday evening we had a social activity held at a lofty 600 meters above NMC Campus, a new NMC Faculty Club designed by Stella Costello. We were fortunate to have live music performed for us by Chronic Skronski.

And to add to the atmosphere, we made use of Lyr Lobo’s Dance Machine to smoothly choreograph the avatar audience (this is the same device she has demonstrated twice in her sessions on Dancin’ with Wolves: Lyr Lobo’s Guide to Creating a Custom Dance Device).

We even saw rainbows appear at appropriate times in accordance to the song list.

Being that we are not just about dancing, but about learning, we were pleased that Chronic was willing to share between his songs some details on the technologies and methods he uses to perform live music in Second Life. We managed to record a sample segment (see below)…. but it was a magical evening indeed, way up in the stars.
