Anthony Fontana says: "Check out my blog entry [1]to see pics of my chat and read my comments. NMConnect turned out to be a great networking event for me, meeting many new SL folk. The discussions I had were extremely productive as well inspiring a whole mess of new ideas! I'm thankful to have participated in such an event."

1:00pm - 8:00pm - AldoManutio Abruzzo (Dennis Moser of the "usr/sbin" ambient music project) will begin a series of seven, live, one-hour long improvisations of a musical performance entitled "Out of Chaos, Peace." These musical meditations will continue over the course of NMConnect, culminating on Tuesday with a complete rebroadcast of the series. The concept of the performance lies in taking a seven note harmonic sequence, and using different rhythmic structures and starting notes, to create a different piece for each session. Come for one or stay for them all... or come back on Tuesday and hear them in sequence and meet with him to discuss live improvisational ambient music in Second Life.

The *Chaos* event did not go as I had planned. ;-) The chaos that I had planned turned into chaos. And then resolved itself into form.

The following link leads to a simple clip of one moment in the event. The video of the entire build needs to edited and uploaded. Please view this clip and check back in a day or so for the complete video. rtsp://dss11.streamhoster.com/dgakyomoon/primfestcomplete.mov and on the New Media Connect Campus as part of the symposium activities.

Founded in response to the Chaos Category of NM Connect's Media Arts Symposium, Capitol Vision Builders will continue to explore the randomness and spontaneity of group improvisation within the exacting science of building and context.
