Metastock 2011 peformance artist competition rocked Second Life this past weekend with twenty artists performing for Grand prize of 500usd. The event kicked off without a hinge leaving a lasting impression.
Although, their weren’t any long haired patchouli wearing hippis at Metastock this past weekend, Metastock’s launch in Second Life will no doubt linger indefinitely. The digital equivalent of Woodstock came to the Grid and dropped some of the best emerging talent that a virtual world has to offer. This live artist contest-event was brought to you buy Metatunes, “Itunes for the Metaverse” the Itunes equivalent in virutual worlds. The Metastock concept is un-precedented providing not only a platform for artists to promote themselves but a web based music distribution site for artists to liscence and sell their music.
I caught a glimpse of some of the talent at Metastock including Metatunes executive (VP) Vice President, Mankind tracer. Although, understandably he wasn’t available for an interview as he was himself a performer and organiser for the event I was lucky enough to have a few words with him about the event the night before the opening.
