VIRTUAL GIG SPAM: kinda live in the Bronx!

["markFrancombe" <mark@markfrancombe.com>]

Hey all,

I will be er.. playing.. live over the internet this coming Sunday, I will be at home in Oslo, and the performance will be shown live at

 

The Point Community Development Corporation
Aunts Point, The Bronx, New York from 11 am to 1pm.

 

Anyone in the area, please stop by (and take some pics for me??)

 

I will be using a simple flash! program called VStudio that lets me loop audio and/or visuals. Anyone can use this as it resides at www.furthernoise.org.

People NOT in the area can therefore join me online. Participation will be blocked during the performance, but everyone will be encouraged to muck about together afterwards. It is the community aspect of the software that is interesting, indeed I performed for 30 minutes live on Resonance Radio in the UK earlier in the year, together with an American and a Japanese musician.

It is a buggy system at the moment (we are currently redesigning from scratch 2 new versions, one solely for audio collaborations and one for visual collaborations, on Sunday I will be attempting both) Be warned, I will be using multiple videos all looping and combined, this can be very CPU hungry so if I crash your system.. Im sorry! I myself will be running 2 laptops so that I can always be logged in, if one goes down!!!
