Alright, I finally have some time to write up a post about my own playing today, it was definitely a crazy concert.

Now since I am writing this myself, I can't really be reviewing my own music. It just wouldn't be fair now would it. I am sure some people like it and some will have their own thoughts and opinions about it. Nevertheless it's still my own music so I won't review it. But if you were at the concert and want to drop your own review, please feel free to make a comment here. Just please keep in mind that if you do so anonymously, I may remove some if they are extremely inappropriate since there's no one to trace it back to...lol. Ok I really won't unless if there are foul language used!

Well today, I literally played for an entire hour non-stop, ok, it was 50 mins, I checked, cause I have the recording, which I am planning to release.

Well it was definitely different and I didn't know what to expect if anyone even stayed till the end. I was like thinking will I finish and turn to the audience and they'd be completely gone cause they didn't get what I was doing. I mean I'm here playing a 50 minute epic improv!!!! Who in the world does that!!!!

Apparently I do, and I did.

The concert was amazing and Gwen's sculpture is just as amazing as ever - Fire Heart was the end result.

We started with 1 prim, I asked her to rez out a single prim and then I'll start improving to just 1 prim...and I did. I told her I could play to anything, and play to anything I did!

I did try to bring some coherency to the entire performance by bringing in recurring themes and ideas so that it doesn't sound like a 50 minutes stream of consciousness. And much of that is derived from that single prim concept of the sphere and the circular motion that is created from the idea of the sphere.

Throughout the concert I did explore the different parts of the sculpture, the new ideas being introduced, along with techniques Gwen used, and colors and sizing and everything else.

The concert was just fantastic fun to play, cause rarely do I get a chance to play 50 minutes straight. The time did pass right by too, and I didn't even realize it. Just watching Gwen create and just feeding off of that really was tremendously helpful in trying to get the music to continue to go and move.

Now I'm just trying to figure out the best way to release this recording which I am pretty certain I want to be doing, but I still need to figure out the best way. I'm pretty sure though it would be a Second Life only release, since I'm not sure if it's viable to release in RL at all.

Well I look forward to my next concert, which I have to post soon about it, and start pushing that concert. It's just one after another here!!! Dec. 3, 2008, 8pmSLT everyone!!! See you at my gallery!!!
