Amadeus - A Machinima by SpyvSpy Productions



spyvspyaeon | August 11, 2010
First of all, thank you so much for Tim Hatcher and Dan Burkharth voice acting, so as Brad Reason for help on technical arrangements, they did a great work.

To find this passage was a joy, rebuild on Second life even more.
(script not shown on the Amadeus Movie)
"Mozart is in a circle of respected composers explaining why he should be able to perform a vulger opera."

It is said that Mozart began having problems with his reputation from this opera that satirized certain customs of the nobility. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart it is pure genius. This story it is only fiction about how Mozart really were.

The original scene happens on Schönbrunn Palace (imperial summer residence in Vienna, Austria.). As far Emperor Leopold I gave his architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach the order to design a new palace. Johann contemporary ideals tryed to top its role model Versailles. So as a producer (me) and since I dint found any Schönbrun Palace in-world, I thought the best approach it were the Versailles Palace.

By Peter Shaffer adapted to Second life by spyvpyaeon.

Salieri struggles with the fact that he himself is rather mediocre, despite his desire to glorify God (though he did not recognize this mediocrity before he met Mozart), while Mozart is a genius while acknowledging no God other than his own desires. In the Peter Shaffer story (inspiration for the Amadeus movie).

Mozart arrives in Vienna with his patron, Count Hieronymus von Colloredo, archbishop of Salzburg. While Mozart Salieri secretly observes, the palace of the archbishop, without being presented to it, and one person perceives as irreverent and lascivious, while recognizing the immense talent of his works. In 1781, when Mozart is presented to the emperor, the young composer Salieri presents a "March of Welcome" he had some work to finish, this same meeting, Mozart shows for the first time his traditional childhood laughter, which is heard the rest of the movie. After hearing the motion only once, Mozart spontaneously "improvise" with the piece, without much effort, and turns the "game" of Salieri in the melody of the aria "Non più andra" from his opera The Marriage of Figaro.Mozart is in a circle of respected composers explaining why he should be able to perform a vulger opera.

Some fine research into Mozart's annoying personality doesn't really make up for the fact that the entire premise of this short of the original movie (that dont show this part) that Salieri loathed Mozart and plotted his demise is probably not true.

What about Mozart's monologue to the Chamberlain, Prefect and Salieri?

*Who’s the Band* - Interview with Brad Reason

Who’s the Band – Brad Reason
Posted by Karen in Who's The Band of http://blazingminds.co.uk

Ever popular than ever I’m proud to bring another in my series of “Who’s the Band” and this week I bring you an interview with Brad Reason, so I’m going to stop rambling on and get on with the interview..

Q: So how did you come upon the name of your band? Is it the first name you chose?
A:
I stuck with my name, Brad Reason. Then there was a time where I was doing a lot more DJ work, so I decided to pick a DJ name, and I went with DJ Doubledown. I loved the movie “Swingers” so I went with Doubledown. When I entered Second Life to begin my virtual world performance career, I used the first name Doubledown, and then at registration, I was given the option of several last names. I picked Tandino. So, my name became Doubledown Tandino in the virtual world, Second Life. In the real world, I stick with Brad Reason.


Q: Tell us a little about yourself?
A:
I’m Brad Reason, solo-artist. I am a digital electronic music composer, producer, editor and remixer. I have collaborated with many other musicians, singers, and music artists over the years as well.

BradReason 300x300 Whos the Band   Brad ReasonQ: So what genre of music would you say you are in and who are your major influences?
A:
I create all forms of instrumental and electronica music which includes house, breakbeat, drum-n-bass, trip-hop, chillout, nujazz, avant-garde, and experimental.
My influences stem from The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Air, Talvin Singh, Medeski Martin & Wood, jazz legends such as Miles Davis and Coltrane, and funk legends such as Commodores, Ohio Players, and James Brown

Q: How long have you been performing/producing music? What inspired to to produce your style of music?
A:
I began creating music on computer in 1996 with now ancient spread-sheet based sampling software . By 1997 I was creating music and sharing with with like minded communities on the internet.

Q: Are you signed to a record label (Indie or major)?
A:
I am not signed by any record label, but I have had some of my individual tracks signed and released through a label or distribution company.

Q: Have your ever performed live? If so where and to how many?
A:
I’ve performed live non-stop since I started. A lot of the shows I do are also DJ based, so I mix DJing with original music and remixing. From 2000-2006 I was DJing on the East Coast of USA, primarily in Baltimore, Maryland. From 2006 to current, I perform live online to people across the world through virtual worlds such as Second Life.

Q: Who writes/produces the music and/or lyrics to your tracks?
A:
I create and compose everything I make.
DoubledowninMusicStudio 300x174 Whos the Band   Brad Reason

Q: How would you describe your music-making process?
A:
I have no process. I simply either get in the mood to create some music, or I have some sounds or beats in my head and I want to lay them out and record.

Q: What has been your biggest challenge as an artist? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
A:
I wouldn’t say I have had many challenges. If anything, I would say that it is sometimes tough to stick within one mainstream style. Usually I like to push the boundaries of music, and make what isn’t the normal standard. I like to create what I want to hear, which may not be considered a mainstream hit. Sometimes, it is tough to garner a large fan base because each of my music pieces is so varied in style and genre.

Q: What’s your ultimate direction for your band? Are you seeking fame and fortune?
A:
Not at all. I have no interest in fame and fortune. I simply want people to listen, appreciate, and respect my music as art.

Q: What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands?
A:
Stop waiting around and thinking about it. Just start!

Q: How can fans-to-be gain access to your music? Do you have a website with sample songs or a demo CD?
A:
http://reverbnation.com/BradReason for over 90 of my original tracks. Currently I am running a contest. I am giving away my not-yet-released new 2010 album for free. The top 5 people that listen to the most songs on my page between now and March 15th will receive the digital copy of my new album.

Q: Is there anyone you’d like to acknowledge for offering financial or emotional support?
A:
I would like to thank all of the Second Life music performers, supporters, and fans. The live music community in Second Life is thriving, and without their constant daily support, I would not have been able to maintain performing live in SL for so long. Also the inspiration for the tunes on my new album came entirely from my experiences in Second Life.

Q: Any last words?
A:
thank you

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

doubledown tandino image"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

Brad%20ReasonQuantcast

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.

Audio Broadcast Streams - Musicians, Singers, & DJs: Perform Live Online to an Audience Around the World and in to Second Life & Virtual Worlds (updated Jan2010)

Ravelong Broadcast Stream Rentals
for Virtual Worlds and the internet. (Shoutcast)






To inquire, get more info, or to purchase a stream:
Email DJDoubledown@gmail.com or visit Ravelong Productions in Second Life
(inSL, contact Doubledown Tandino)

===

The concept:
It is possible to perform live music, sing, and DJ from your real life home.  Many people from around the world can tune in and listen.  Anyone can tune in to a live broadcast stream provided they have a broadband connection, meaning, listeners can tune in from the internet, from their mobile device such as a phone and avatars in-world can tune in too.

How DJing over the internet and into a virtual world works:
The DJ or musician plays/performs (in any computer software music player, external live instrument or DJ equipment). A program (Shoutcast, Simplecast, SAM, etc) on your computer then sends out any sound going through your computer's sound card. Your broadcast reaches a server relay and this is what is needed to stream music live at HIGH QUALITY.  The stream comes with a listener link. Any listener may hear the music you play LIVE. (For Second Life or a virtual world, that link goes into the land's music/audio link in order for inworld avatars to hear your broadcast.

Why rent one of your audio streams and not use some free streaming site?
Free streaming sites are low-quality sound.  You could be performing the greatest set of your life, and it sounds great to you in your home studio, however the listeners hear poor, lower than radio quality sound.  Dropouts, cut-offs, unstable, inconsistent low-quality sound is what you ALWAYS get with free streaming (for example: Ustream, Livestream, Tinychat, etc).  Free streaming sites and video conferencing sites were meant for voice discussion, and low-quality audio (at audio qualities of 32kbps or 64kbps which is worse than radio).  To perform an excellent pristine audio quality live show, you will want to make sure your audience hears what you hear, at CD-quality sound or above.

Free streaming sites do not come with customer service, technical support, troubleshooting, and emergency backup.  I do.   Now, with our 2010 improved servers and ISP, we are running at 100% uptime. Some clients that have relied on my streaming service have included IBM, Playboy, and many individual performers.  ALL have been with me (some for several years) because of my customer support AND quality of service.

OK, so, how much is this going to cost?
Less than you think it would.  Other companies try to rip you off.  If you were to do a search on the internet now, lets say on shoutcast.com for example, they are looking to charge at $50-$100 or more USD monthly!  That's insane!!  I charge what it really costs.  Depending on your package, it will cost $12-$15usd monthly (approximately $3800L/month).

Lets discuss your plans and expectations, and I'll be able to determine what is right for you as a live music performer.

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.
