RE: Mankind Tracer in Pop Vox TV

What an awesome Pop Vox show last night!
A report and how these shows happen behind the scene.We meet 1 hour before showstart MK, Persia Bravin, Yxes Delacroix (Treet.TV) and me. There we set up mikes and audio to test Skype and SL voice. This may sound as an easy job for an hour and well it can be. But being the director of these shows and not the best to let other people do the job I have to deal with access lists, handing out landmarks, coordinate audio/vids for simulcasted etc! Of course all this is planned and handed out days before shows but somehow people loose their notecards, SLurls, schedule and landmarks (and I sometimes do myself too!). No offence here at all just a note to let ya’ all know Second Life planning ain’t like Real Life planning. And oh to catch up this pre hour set up is high speed work leaving me with tons of IMs I try reply while speaking with 3 people same time on voice. Sorry to those I had to ignore.

Anyway!!! Pop Vox started 4:02 and we got it all set inclusive the audience. For the first time we invited the audience to participate in the artist interview by sending me IMs with their questions. It was great fun and after Persia Bravin finished her 20 min. interview I asked MK questions from the audience. After the interview which by the way was streamed live throughout the grid to those who tuned in and at SLCN plus Treet.TVs newly designed site we headed to the Q sim stage area where MK kicked off his 45 min live set at 5 PM. About 100 people saw and heard MK at his absolute TOP playing an awesome gig. I can’t wait to see this in HD widescreen qual. when Treet.TV put up in their archives asap. We could have hoped for more people but it was very late night in Europe and to maximize the TV recording it definately helped the sims didn’t lack performance due to higher traffic. Also of note Videopathic had set up a giant Intelli screen above stage where show could be viewed as seen live on Treet.TV.
To sum up it was prolly the most professional and successful Pop Vox show to date!
Huge respect and thanx to all behind this TV production/show.

Post Floyd Views and Comments

Pop Art Lab almost landed after a spectacular, massive and fantastic event last night. Pop Art Lab exploded and SL exploded. We had serious issues trying to handle a massive traffic some 15 mins before Floyd took off, TPs and groupchat went down. I was left with a blank blue screen trying to TP out of the Moon Park sims and back. 7:08 PM SLT I was seated in front of to me the most amazing show ever experienced in SL. Almost 2 hours watching the Lunatics on the Grass the Pop Art Lab Team had some time to pick up the pieces getting ready for the MoShang live concert and Afterparty down at the Pop Art Lab stage. MoShang live from Taiwan delivered a perfect downtempo chilled electronica set using instruments as well as electronics. That leads me to the point by now.

This whole event entered SL history because of 1 fact……….. pro people in the process!

Great respect to the following ppl.: Lapiscean Liberty, Emily Hifeng, Rico Willis, Xray Haller, Olivia Saphir, Serendipity Savira, Laureen Korhonen, MoShang Zhao, Votslav Hax, RayO Raymaker, Zahara Blackburn and those I might have forgotten atm.

Feedback – Help to get this service better!

Pop Art Lab is a test project presenting new music (and videos soon). PAL presents selected goodies among 10.-20.000 CDs released each year. From popular to underground it gives you the opportunity to listen wherever you are RL or SL.

PAL support and loves music and ain’t based on pirate network – If you like what you hear go out buy and support your favourite artists. They deserve it!

Untill now roughly 3 new streams are set up weekly consisting of 4 streams/CDs each. Which means listeners being offline few days might miss the beat. Get in contact if you miss anything and we will try to do a re-setup. This blog will soon be fully updated and you can check out actual playlists weekly.

Concerning the selection and service in general we will be very pleased to hear your opinion!

Love, PAL Team
