Dear members, dear network partners,

The metaverse and the many possibilities of Web3 are a much discussed topic on Twitter forums and Facebook posts. 27 million players were able to marvel at Travis Scott’s “Astronomical” concert in 2020 on Fortnite over several days. But for the past few years, numerous indie developers have been offering DJ and live music options in the Metaverse.

On 09.11, Thor Hagedorn and Luana Madikera from IRL and Metaverse event company Diasporic Arts Alliance and Tropical Bass Band La Byle gave a talk/workshop on “Creating Metaverse Experiences” as part of Most Wanted: Music and went into their experiences with Metaverse concerts.

Building on this, the Music Business Talk session “How to: Perform in the Metaverse!” on 17/11/2022 at 10am. Here Christine Seraphin (Diasporic Arts Alliance) and Thor Hagedorn (DAA, La Byle) addressed what basic knowledge, technology and metaverse might be right for you.
