Charity concert update

There’s been a schedule change with Aga’s Toys for Tots event, and I will now be going on at 2 PM Pacific. Also it seems that I’ll be performing from an instance where I can invite a small audience to join me, so I hope to see folks there! The instance will be owned by my VRChat group. I was misinformed about this! Please join Corbelle’s group.

Upcoming charity show

Hey everyone! On Friday, November 15, at 2:30 PM PST I will be performing a live set in VRChat for a charity fundraiser, benefitting Toys for Tots.

The show will be hosted by Corbelle’s music events group, so join that VRChat group if you’d like to see me in-world. Otherwise, you can watch it being streamed on twitch. I hope you’ll be able to come!

Music progress and upcoming shows!

Gosh it’s been a while since I’ve checked in! Here’s stuff that’s going on with me, music-wise.

Transitions

The album is almost done. I finally settled on some album art, all but one song is recorded, and I just have a bit of mixing work to do on half of the songs. Hopefully the Bandcamp release will be available soon, and the streaming release will be soon after!

Choir

As always, my choir is doing a couple of shows for Trans Day of Remembrance. Both will be at University Congregational UCC, with one on November 16, 2024 at 3 PM and one on November 20, 2024 at 7:30 PM.

These will also hopefully be streamed, for those who can’t make it in person, but I hope you will be able to attend in the flesh if possible.

VRChat show

I’ll also be performing at a charity show for Aga’s Toys for Tots on November 15 at 2:30 PM Pacific. I don’t know if this show will be streamed but it’ll definitely be accessible in VRChat. I’ll be providing more information as it comes to me.

Rock on! Stream on!

If all went well, my concert is now underway. In theory, here is the VRChat instance (but if nobody’s there check the VRC group). And in theory, the stream should be live.

In practice, I am probably currently scrambling to get everything working at this very moment.

Concert reminder!

I’ll be performing in VRChat tonight at 9 PM PDT. Join my VRChat music group for the instance link.

If you can’t join via VRChat, I’ll also be streaming on my Owncast instance, and I’ll try to engage with the stream chat although historically that hasn’t worked out so well.

And if the time doesn’t work, the stream recording will eventually go on my YouTube channel.

For this concert I’ll be trying out a new performance setup for improved sound, hand tracking, and audience engagement, and also a different venue than last time for better environmental factors.

Upcoming music stuff

Here’s what’s currently going on with my music things.

postponing the concert

I’m having a bad pain flareup and as much as I’d like to push through it and do the concert anyway, from experience I know that’ll just make things worse and I’m trying to get better at self-care and showing myself the same understanding I show others.

So, tentatively I’m planning on my next VR concert being on September 29, at 9 PM Pacific time, hosted on my VRChat group. And of course it’ll be streamed over on my Owncast. Here’s a Discord event link.

The great thing about performing virtually is that I don’t have to worry about venue booking. I can make my own rules for this and I don’t have to feel bad about the reality of my health.

Concert time polling

Hey y'all, it’s been a little while since I’ve done a VRChat music performance, and I have a hankering to try out my new performing gear. Please vote in this poll so I can figure out what the best time is for a show!

(Don’t worry about the name you put in, and I’ve also set it to hide responses from each other. Strawpoll doesn’t have any “allow anonymous responses” option for time polls, unfortunately.)

Show went well

My first full VRChat concert went pretty well considering it was my first time doing such a large set. Previously I’d done single-song performances or song-circle gathering type things, so there’s a bunch of stuff I learned during the process of doing this.
