I was just playing with Angrybeth Shortbread’s new soundspace in Second Life.

It’s wonderful!

How many instruments can you become involved with that respond to whether you’re a teddy bear or not?

I found I preferred the music my smaller tiny-bear made rather than the large Alex av.

I also created a little shiny soccer-style ball to kick around and it made extra noise. And I silenced a bow by ripping out its sound file and used that to make noise - that was interesting too.

Now, RP ideas:

Wouldn’t it be cool to do a huge dune-style Emperor of the fading Suns sim / roleplay where there was a soundspace like this being played - and lithe dancing people moving through the cube, making beautiful melodies at the same time they impress the court with the grace and cunning of their movements?

Wouldn’t it be neat to have a music-keyed lock somewhere, so you must do movements in a specific order in order to unlock an ancient mystic gateway?

The possibilities are endless. Here are the pictures:
