The Avatar Orchestra Metaverse consists of members based in
Europe,
North America and
Asia. This membership makes use of
Second Life to perform
telematically with each other, using virtual instruments which commonly created specifically for the composition they are used in. In certain cases, the membership's
avatars themselves are modified and used as the instruments within the performances. To do this, AOM members make use of a
HUD, containing various
sample sounds, which – when played – also highlight the avatar in some manner, to make the audience aware of which participant is 'playing' at that point. Due to the virtual nature of the group, they have been able to perform live around the world via
streaming to various countries. Countries they've performed in include
France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Spain, the
Netherlands, Canada and the United States. This had also allowed them to perform for various performative festivals, including Sound Symposium XVI and
Wien Modern. ==Past Productions==
