*Moon* - Music by Slim Girl Fat - Video Machinima by SpyvSpy Productions

Slim Girl Fat and SpyvSpy Productions Present *Moon*



spyvspyaeon — "Lunar deity is a god or goddess associated with or symbolizing the moon. These deities can have a variety of functions and traditions depending upon the culture, but they are often related to or an enemy of the solar deity. Some cultures relate the moon as a Female, although is known as a male more common worldwide.

The Moon through the edges has been a significant inspiration and creativity of many artists around the world. SlimGirlFat as achieved a great song and the starting inspiration to this creation.

Lunar Deity is represented on this work as the Dryad connecting the entity with the nature. I should frame this work between both of their own simplistic and the complex of its composition but I rather leave you the final judgment. don't blame me ツ. Inspired by Enigma video clips (I'm a big fan of them) I've tried an approach to a SL Machinima to their kinda videos. This video is nothing more than a thought caught in no where place no where in time, some sort of a let it flow (with some few basic knowledge).

Most of the special fx's are made on After effects and I want to mention that the glass breaking on the start it's a precomposed set already build on 3DS max and exported to AE, royalty free. The rest I just applied a bunch of coolest effects build by my own, from foam through cc cylinder (warp drive) and some 3D depth field with some motion blur. I hope you enjoy so much as I this new release. "

FreePlayVL - *Virtually Live Music IS Social Media!* - Music In 3D Feature Article February 2010

FreePlayVL – Music In 3D

* Virtually Live Music IS Social Media!*

By Teddi Davis of FreePlayVL

"All forms of social media work. It just depends on how you use them." Brad Reason aka Doubledown Tandino

Brad Reason’s music career continues to flourish entwined with computer and Internet technology.  He keenly demonstrates social media is about leveraging technology to connect, network, share, perform, promote, and learn.  Most importantly, he shows discipline with these social media platforms is worth the effort! By Teddi Davis

Brad Reason, also known as Doubledown Tandino in Second Life® and other virtual  communities, recently shared how the Internet helped him get his start, and how social media has advanced his career.  Besides being an accomplished musician and DJ, Brad Reason is uniquely positioned to comment on social media’s usefulness and efficacy.  Not only does he create, perform and DJ virtually live music, Brad’s also a new media marketing professional.  In fact, he’s a full time social media, new media, and trending technology specialist.  Since he spends 40 to 70 hours a week working with social media platforms, his experience and insights are sure to help other musicians make use of today’s most compelling promotional tools.

Brad began his music career over a decade ago.  “At first, it was more about using my computer and sampling, than about creating music,” he said.  “It was for my own personal enjoyment, and the intrigue.”  Creating music with a personal computer was in its infancy.  Brad started with a program called Impulse Tracker, which was a basic spreadsheet form of laying out sounds and samples.  “As I was creating my first music,” Brad recalled, “the Internet was starting to blossom as well.” He started connecting with other PC musicians via forums and message boards.  “Thanks to the Internet, we could share each other’s tunes, and swap samples–it was experimental, and avant-garde,” he recollected.

He was learning and growing by listening to other people’s music, and picking up tips and techniques from his virtual peers.  Heavily into electronica at the time, Brad was influenced by Aphex Twin, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and Air among others.  He began to appreciate he was on the cusp of something big because not only were the people around him beginning to listen to his tunes, there was a growing online community of other artists also experimenting.

When Brad decided to incorporate some of his compositions into a play he had written, he was stunned when he got his first request to purchase a CD.   “I didn’t even have a burner,” he said.  “I was in total shock that someone actually wanted to listen to the music I was creating.”
And then came the MP3.com Web site.  Brad could now upload his music, and create CDs.  “Once that site became popular, people around the world were listening, downloading, and buying my music,” he recalled.  MP3.com was the first online location for sharing, and downloading music.  “It was a social media community for music before the term ‘social media’ was even coined,” Brad noted.  “You could technically consider that experience as the start of my use of social media.”

Even though MP3.com got into a legal tangle and is no more, we all know the concept stuck.  Brad said he now uses sites like ReverbNation.com/BradReason and TheSixtyOne.com/Doubledown to share and sell his music.  “New technology, new equipment, and new software followed–such as, ACID, Reason, Cubase, Protools, Ableton Live, Serato Scratch, and Native Instruments–and now,” he said “the possibilities for music making are limitless.”  And so are the ways to connect with an audience.

Brad doesn’t use social media to communicate just with his fans, however.  He also uses these tools to connect with venues and other music business contacts.  As a new media marketing pro, Brad notes most venues are behind the times when it comes to social media.  “Venues don’t realize the potential for using these tools for promotion and booking quality music acts,” he said.  Not surprisingly, Brad finds venues are ‘very enthused’ that he expertly uses the Internet to both perform and promote.  “I use social media to share my music, announce when I have created a new piece of music, announce my live shows, and connect with industry professionals.”  He also uses social media platforms to house his portfolio, bio and resume, but Brad especially enjoys connecting with his fans.  “I am happy to respond to comments, and keep the lines of communication two-way.”

Brad finds social media so successful, he now limits his use of other promotional tools.  In the past, he used fliers, print media, and press releases, as well as posting event info at non-social media based Web sites.  “Now, because I am very skilled at using social media to market, advertise, and promote, I use social media fully, and have no need to focus on print anymore.”  Social media in tandem with CDs and business cards, with the occasional flier is all he needs now.

“I use FaceBook (for everything), Twitter (for real-time info spreading), LinkedIn (for professional networking), my blog, DJDoubledown.blogspot.com, to keep a portfolio of my work as well as share other people’s interesting concepts, Flickr (for photos and graphic designs), Reverb Nation (for my original music), Soundcloud (for my DJ mixes), Second Life, Club Cooee, Skype, Digsby, Google Wave, PHP bulletin boards, FourSquare, Mashable, and a multitude of other social media and new media platforms.”  Brad said, “I am everywhere on the Internet, either as Brad Reason or as Doubledown Tandino.”

When I asked what advice he would give digital musicians relative to social media, Brad suggests keeping all lines of communication open.  “Don’t be too quick to dismiss a new form of social media,” he advised.  “All forms of social media work. It just depends on how you use them.”

Brad’s music career began and continues to flourish entwined with computer and Internet technology.  He keenly demonstrates social media is really about leveraging technology to connect, network, share, perform, promote, and learn.  But most importantly, Brad Reason shows discipline with these social media platforms is worth the effort!

Brad Reason: 15 years of Original Music now Posted

Over the past 15 years, I created music.
Barely anyone has ever heard the music I created during that time.
From 1996-2006, generally, no one has heard the original digital electronic music I made.

It's now 2010, so I decided to publicly display most of my music catalog for your listening pleasure. If you'd like, have a listen:
http://reverbnation.com/bradreason

I've added over 100 of my original digital electronica music creations from over a 15 year time span.
I would LOVE it if anyone who chooses to listen lets me know what they like.  Because I have never had anyone listen to most of these tunes, I really have no idea what people will think.  If there's a song you like, PLEASE let me know.  Even if there's a part of a song you like, please let me know.

Each composition I created comes with a story; why I made it, how I made it, and who I made it for.... but I won't go into that, unless you ask me about a specific song, then I will go into details.

In the meantime, have fun listening, and exploring my music history and full catalog.

Positive Reviews of the new Tune Multiple Worlds are Flying in!!

Recently Slim Girl Fat (Slim Warrior inSL) and Brad Reason (Doubledown Tandino inSL) released a collaboration track entitled "Multiple Worlds."  The track has receive a phenomenal warm response filled with comments and praise.


"I like the keys at the top, they lend to a certain mystery that the track creates. I like how the song develops and keeps me interested. Good melodies, good loops, good sounds, good mix. Well done."

"I like the use of the synthesizer, I think this brings a unique qualtiy to the track. Additionally, the rhythm used is very choppy and bouncy and works to enhance the track by giving it an intricate extra layer. As a dance track I feel that this builds up gradually and works really well."

"Quite cool intro the music was very pretty with the musical instruments played very perfectly. The drum beat was good also."

"This is quite nice and relaxing- very ambient. It is a well arranged piece of music, and it sounds like a complete track."

"great song. Nice and chilled, making the perfect background music. Buildups and general structure are well done. Seriously reminds of beaches, summer and good times. Love it."


....There were over 60 comments and reviews on the tune received within just 48 hours of releasing the song!!  Thank you to everyone who has offered the support, feedback, and responses.
       -Doubledown & Slimmie

PS:  Music Video coming soon!!!  Details will be announced soon.

Daft Punk to Compose Music Score to Tron : Legacy

Taken directly from Firstshowing.net : because they have a great record of ALL things Tron Legacy so far:

Holy Crap, Daft Punk is Scoring Disney's Tron 2.0!

March 4, 2009
Source: Upcoming Film Scores
by Alex Billington

Even though Tron 2.0 isn't slated to hit theaters until 2011, we keep hearing big updates on the project, surrounding everything from the plot to CGI cloning of Jeff Bridges. But here's an announcement that I am truly giddy about reporting. The always reliable Upcoming Film Scores blog is claiming that Daft Punk has signed on to do the score for Tron 2.0! They say that Disney has actually confirmed this with them, which means I'm also going to say that it's accurate until proven otherwise. And let me be the first to say, this could be absolutely unbelievably phenomenal, but that may be because I'm such a big fan of Daft Punk.

While their songs have been used in plenty of movies, Daft Punk has never actually scored an entire movie before. They did provide almost all of the music for the Interstella 5555 anime, and they did also direct a movie called Electroma, but that didn't feature any of their music. I have no clue how this will turn out, but that doesn't matter, because this could be the greatest Tron 2.0 news I've ever heard. If there was anyone that I could've dreamed about being involved with the music for Tron, it would've been Daft Punk, that is for sure! And lo and behold, they're actually scoring the movie. Damnit, 2011 can't get here soon enough!
