As some of you know, I decided to do something unique with my new song by debuting it inside of a Virtual World platform called Metaplace. That proved to be an interesting experiment and generated a decent little crowd of 20 or so across the event, with a little help rounding people up thanks to Cuppycake.

While some aspects of doing this were a little cludgy (the fact that I’m holding an acoustic guitar in-world, but not actually playing one in the song, just looks strange.. for example), the actual execution of essentially playing a set of my mp3′s for an audience couldn’t have been easier and for essentially NO real planning-time, I’d still call this event a huge success! I may do this again in the future, possibly in a custom-built world and a bunch of actual planning. We shall see, but in any case it was fun giving it a shot!

Oh, and I had my first virtual-world hecklers too! I’m living the life now.. YEAH! =)

Whew! This one was a few months in the making, but I’m very happy to finally get it out the door in a form that I’m very proud of! I hope you like it!

As always feel free to email me with feedback, message me on Twitter, or leave me a comment right here!

Oh, and if you really like it, please by all means tell your friends! There’s nothing I like more than knowing that lots of people are listening to my music, and with any luck, a few of them actually LIKING IT! =)

If you’re interested, “The Device” will be making it’s grand (or not so grand) debut TODAY at 4pm PST over at Metaplace. If you aren’t already signed up, you might want to do that ahead of time by either registering over at Metaplace.com or if you use Facebook, by adding their Facebook application. Once logged in, you can find me in the MPCentral world. That world has gotten a lot larger recently, so you might want to do a little poking around ahead of time. I’ll be in the “Metaville” section of the world at a small stage in the upper right-hand corner. In Metaplace, I’m known as “Logikal” so feel free to send me a /tell in-world if you need help getting there.
