Some time ago my friend Arahan Claveau told me about a project he was working on, some like a cross-reality event, about Jazz. Finally he sent me some information about the project… and i think is really interesting! Let me paste some of the info:

The real and the virtual interact as digital artwork on a monumental scale provides a stunning virtual landscape while real-world jazz gigs, broadcast live from a small London club, are injected into the cyberspace. …

… JAZZLIVE at the Crypt presents a short season of jazz concerts celebrating the wealth of talent in the UK jazz scene. The concerts will be broadcast live from the Crypt into a virtual venue in the virtual world Second Life. …

… Those attending the concerts in the Second Life venue will also be exposed to great artwork commissioned especially for the events by some of the virtual world’s most respected artists DanCoyote Antonelli, Oberon Onmura and Juria Yoshikawa. Those attending The Crypt will also experience the art show, as it will be viewable on big screens in the venue. This two-way interaction is an essential element in the project. …

… Also to be screened are excerpts from a forthcoming film about JAZZLIVE by multimedia artist Steve Millar (also known as Arahan Claveau in SL). …

So if you like Jazz and Second Life don’t miss the next fridays at 08:00 PM in London, in The Crypt (RL side) or at noon SLT in Second Life, in the Jazzlive sim (SLurl). Or why not… in both sides at the same time!
