Live Music on the Internet
Most live musicians who play on the internet will know all about Paltalk. The live music community on Paltalk has developed gradually but forcefully over the past 7 years and many of the musicians and live music enthusiasts meet annually at 'paljams'. These are hosted by individual members of the Paltalk live music community and they provide superb opportunities for players and fans to meet in real life and to jam together. Attendance at the jams is by invitation only.
"All the best songwriting work I do is when my mind isn't working at all. I like to watch baseball games with a guitar - you don't lose your mind at all."
(Peter Buck, b.1956, REM)
www.secondlife.com'Second Life' is somewhat different to Paltalk in that it is a simulation game with a real economy. There is an increasing number of virtual venues for live musicians and many Paltalk veterans now own and run successful vitual clubs and arenas. The music is broadcast through a stream to produce excellent quality sound.
Meet our good friends at this amazing club in Danielson, Connecticut. Fine cuisine. Superlative entertainment. Excellent people. Jan and Evie and their team are currently at the chalkface of many innovative and exciting developments involving the use of video for live performances from the Rain Desert for broadcasting onto Paltalk. Thanks to everyone for their support.
