Alazarin Mondrian Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sounds interesting. How come I never hear of any live music events until after the line-up is finalised? It's getting look more and more like a closed shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinkerer Melville Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 This is an event to help intercommunication among musical performers. Maybe you could push the idea of a mailing list of other way to improve communication among performers. I post things like this event in my blog, and I would like better ways to get the info.

A good idea, but it sounds *alot* like a case of reinventing the wheel. Organising a mailing list strikes me as being the perfect role for a dedicated music fan rather than a musician as admin work has a tendency to become very time consuming and I simply haven't got the time or inclnation to run a mailing list. *** *** *** Back in the day I used to attend the quarterly meetings of the Musicians' Union [London Branch] like clockwork. One thing that used to bug me was that almost all the union officials were alot older and somewhat conservative in their ways. After a while it dawned on me that they were either retired or semi-retired musicians who had fallen into a union job 'flying a desk' rather than getting out there and making a noise. I put their conservatism down to the fact that they mostly likely weren't artists at heart. Yes, they were musicians, once upon a time. But the type that jumped through the hoops of music classes at school before landing a job in the local city orchestra or army band. What does that have to do with this thread? Well, I've found in my experience that throughout life one will meet an endless procession of well-meaning people who offer their suggestions as to what could improve ones' lot. However they almost always boil down to spending less time practising, composing, recording and performing and doing something else. In other words, a diversion and distraction from the essential tasks at hand. For example, I had a lengthy lay-up after I broke my ankle in October last year. I didn't practise or rehearse my material for nearly 5 months. When I got on stream I found that my playing had deteriorated, I had to re-learn swathes of my material and that I had succumbed to ennui and fallen way behind on my schedule to complete my current album. So, for me, I find it essential to cut down any distractions to a minimum. Thank you for your suggestion but I'll have to pass on that one.

Thinkerer Melville Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 You are absolutely right. Well, my blog is available to post news about organizing musical events as well as about the presentation. But I won't go out hunting for that information. If people are organizing musical event and send me the information in time for it to be useful for prospective performers, I will post it on my blog. That is the best I can do.

Selene Putzo Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hello Alazarin, sorry to have taken such a while to get back to your post. The Metaverse Live Music Expo for 2011 has closed now; however, we will be back again this time next year. If you contact me in world I can invite you to join the musician's group. We intend to keep Metaverse Live Music Expo within full view of the residents of Second Life by attending events such as Second Life 8th Birthday Party in the summer, along with other events too. There is purpose for live artists of Second Life to remain within our Musician's Group. Not only will they receive advance notice of our 2012 event, we are constructing an area for musicians to test streams and program their local equipment for sound test. This area could be a pleasant place to hold an audition with your potential venue owner if you wish. We invite constructive ideas and critique from our members and will do our best, where possible, to provide you with useful information and facilities. We are a not-for-profit organization manned by volunteers, who are not associated with any Second Life venue or band. As such we remain operational without bias or favor.
