Holidays – the invasion of physical worlds and coming ups

The lab is running in safe sunny holidays mode and only 1 stream been up previous weeks. However we are back within few days and it’s time for a brief update.

Our Art Breaker collaboration project showcasing 3500+ prims  of inter- reactive music, sound and art installations is speeding up and we’ve recieved some very cool proposals. Please note submission deadline is set for July 31. Due to the size and amount of work related to this project we’ll try to extend the rezz/build timeframe. Still final date for opening the showcase is set as part of our 2 year birthday anniversary start of September. More on this soon.

Good news on PALs coming autumn season! We are glad to announce we finally got event managers set and ready to kickoff with more focused events  starting early August. I have to admit this position at PAL haven’t been easy to find. To put it straight we only wants the very best artists and DJs fitting into our interests and finding those requires music brains. Long run these changes will strengthen our community and ensure we remain an important part of the virtual music scene. When thats said it’ll also allow me to step bit down and focus my time on the overall PAL presence which keeps taking us into new directions and cooperations!

Speaking of events… more good news! Saturday July 24 at 12 PM PST/SLT we’ll host Lance Rembrandts cd-release party of his new EP “I Wish You Were Here”. As a teaser by now watch his new promo video below where Lance talks about his new recordings. More details on show coming up.

To end this update it’s time to look back and introduce the physical worlds. Lately I went to a global confrence on virtual worlds hosted in Denmark. I did a short PAL poster session presenting our virtual work and few minutes later I was  asked to go talk about what we do at PAL as part of the new Nordic Worlds project. I had zero time preparing this and didn’t even knew the theme was “Trends in Virtual Worlds”. Please ignore flaws and the on the fly sequences! Also go check other participants interviews including John Lester aka x Pathfinder Linden

Back to virtuality and notes. Lately I did one more interview/talk for Al Peretz who is currently setting up a new series of machinima interviews. To those who don’t know Al Peretz he is the great talented guy who recently won our machinma contest.

Finally we passed a rather World Cup 2010 infected SL7B celebration. We would have loved to be more around but glimpsed happily in silence. The greatest moment however was Philips return or to say Mark Kingdons whispering melodies in the background right before Philip Rosedale grabbed the mike!

Happy holidays
