“SPACECRAFT”, TEAMS UP WITH NASA FOR YURI'S NIGHT SPACE PARTY
IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD OF SECOND LIFE !

Nashville, TN... SpaceForMusic.com label is pleased to present their international acclaimed ambient/electronic music recording artist, SPACECRAFT, to the wildly popular virtual world of Second Life for their 10th Anniversary performance. On Thursday April 12th, 9:00 pm PST at Spaceport Bravo in Second Life, SPACECRAFT will perform their enchanting live music along with NASA video footage projected on two screens on either of the custom stage created for this event. This will be the first time SPACECRAFT as a group has performed in Second Life. Tony Gerber, aka Cypress Rosewood in Second Life has performed over 35 live concerts as a solo artist. SPACECRAFT has performed in churches, festivals, museums, theatres and planetariums throughout the east and midwestern United States in the past and are excited to perform for the first time in the virtual world. To find out about Second Life goto http://secondlife.com

SPACECRAFT comprises of Nashville artist and veteran space musician Tony Gerber, Kentucky electronic music pioneer John Rose and vocal synthesist Diane Timmons. SPACECRAFT has received heavy airplay on NPR’s syndicated Echoes, Hearts of Space, Star’s End and many local radio stations around the U.S. and world. Their music was used in the Hollywood film starring Tom Cruise, “Vanilla Sky” in 2002. Troy Mcluhan of Canada will be the video producer for the show. He is the director of the Internation Spaceflight Museum in Second Life.

Here is what public radio dj, David Devers has to say. “The electronic music of SPACECRAFT is at once enticing and challenging.With each SPACECRAFT concert one is easily drawn into the deep infinity of the universe, while simultaneously being reminded of the very tribal nature of our own kind. You will float peacefully on the marvelous, ambient tapestries of sound woven by SPACECRAFT; and, you will be swept away for a futuristic, musical confrontation with the heavens.”

The project "Spacecraft" was born in 1996 after a listening session of NASA image and sound mappings from the Voyager space probe. Tony Gerber and John Rose were so inspired by these recordings, they programmed a new palette of sounds for their synthesizers, triggered from these listening sessions. Next, they called on the talents of Chris Blazen and Diane Timmons to join them for several recording sessions that emerged as their first self-titled CD, "Spacecraft". Spacecraft's music is largely “of the moment” music. So this is the 10th anniversary concert of their first release, and a fitting event it is.

REVIEW FROM BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
“Spacecraft sets the controls for deep space with music recorded live in the Hummel Planetarium in Kentucky. This trio of synthesizers and guitar recalls early - '70s Tangerine Dream, when that group was still using live performances as free-form explorations rather than pre-programmed computations. Befitting the planetarium environment, this is music more of design than melody, and it has a pulse more than a rhythm. From the amorphous textures of "Explorations In Space" to the tugging sequencer patterns of the title track, sounds and forms shift and morph through each other, gradually revealing broad chordal structures, gentle pulses, and the interlocking patterns that have long been the hallmark of space music. Spacecraft does it better than many contemporary practitioners, and Tony Gerber's sinuous guitar leads add another dimension to this sound.”
John Diliberto (Billboard Magazine)
