How it all started...
Back in 2005 or 2006, Steve Schrum, a long time collaborator, came to me with the idea of participating in the virtual online realm of Second Life. I have to admit that I was utterly unimpressed at that time. I could not understand why anyone would want to spend hours typing away in virtual chat rooms while an avatar walked across the screen. The creative poosibilities seemed interesting, but I couldn't see how it fit into my practical outlook on tachnology, music and creativity.

Then, in Fall 2006, I needed a topic for a media influence paper at BloomsburgThaylon Singh University, so I decided it was a good chance to check out Second Life and see what it had to offer. Thus began a rather intense period of participant/observer research, performance and networking. Through that process I began to see just how well developed this realm had become, and that there were possibilities for my own musical talents. It was a particularly good outlet for material that I would not normally perform in a live context at my regular shows.

After a hiatus in Spring 2008, Steve and I are taking our collaboration to the next level and I am exploring SL further. For now, if you can read German, Steve (Phorkyad) was mentioned in an article by a Second Life web site. The German magazine SLM also ran a story about Phorkyad Acropolis.

There will be an Immaculate Misconceptions encore performance in SL in July 2008. That is the play we originally did in Greensburg, PA. See below for details:
