Jitterbug Ponk (Golden Dust for Vit)

Jitterbug Ponk (Golden Dust for Vit) 5:39

This is a pre-avatrix track that was made as a tribute to Vit, the wonderous liminal avatrice that brings so much inspiration these days. The sounds used in this track comes from the Mesh party at InTheGrid in Chicago on the friday 26th of jan. At this poetry and music party that took place both in Second Life and Real Life Björn Eriksson was playing some wild improvised clarinets and more while avatar Miulew Takahe was supervising the whole thing. Please feel free to read Jason Pettus blog posting on this at:

Track description:

A high drone - along with some lowpitched voices and speeded up clarinets starts this track. Soon a kids glockenspiel adds up to Björn's "Say when!" refereng to when to start the transmission thru Skype into the Second Life Mesh party. Soon the gold dust sweeps in... consisting of fine grains of pure gold. Interdialog between mesh and Björn's place takes the piece into some backward soundings of anothes gold dust sweeps... mixed in with mesh sounds... clarinets... voices. Some accompanying metal stick sounds from garden 2005 points out some timestamps to remember. In the end some wild distorted clarinets brings the piece to a disturbing place not far from here. . . but i guess this ain't the place. Well. . . . i guess you better just listen! This is considered a ponk piece. Hope you like it!

Celebrating Arts Birthday on the Pomodoro Bolzano deck!

On the 17th of january at the Art's Birthday happenings over at the Pomodoro Bolzano Gallery (art.think.box), located at Netherbeck (158, 175, 82)
I was doing live streaming on the deck with my laptop. I was on it in about 2 hours which for my standards must be something of barrier breaking. I was meshing found and recorded sounds from various location that my higher supreme being had prepared for me. The whole evening was a blast for me and I was really enjoying my stay on the deck as people danced away the night. One reporter from The AvaStar popped by to make an article about the ongoing exhibition of the artists of the Pomodora Bolzano group and I also got some words in there about the experiences of being an avatar making music in 2nd life. On page 18 in issue no.5 of The AvaStar you can read some about this.
If you missed the event there will soon be an option to listen to the recordings of these sets that I call Dust Hearby in Stereo, part 1 and part 2. Thanks to all collaborating forces that made this evening come true.

Miulew Takahe - sound explorer in Second Life

Welcome to my new blog. I will not introduce myself more than saying that my main reason for going to Second Life is to explore and find out more about different ways to creatively use audio in context with other media. I am myself a musician playing both electronic and acoustic instruments. If you are interested in being part of ongoing live happenings and other projects inWorld, please contact me! (inWorld). I am also very interested in different art projects where there is collaboration and crossreferencing between First Life and Second Life.
