Back to what this Concert Window thing is...
Over the last few months, I've been working on my setup for performing LIVE online. It's a service called Concert Window. I was turned on to Concert Window after hearing about the Twitter / Periscope service. I watched an Information Society concert through Periscope and my Apple TV. The video and audio quality was not very good but I really enjoyed getting to see the show that night.
Concert Window takes it up a notch, allowing higher quality audio and video (HD with the right gear and Internet speed). It's not just a YouTube video because it's LIVE. As a fan, you can type comments to me during the show to queue up requests or simply say hello! Since its not prerecorded I can talk to you back, while you sit on the couch via your tablet, or device streaming to your television! There is also a ticket and tip system to reserve seats at limited shows or get other cool stuff (I can do a concert right from YOUR home with my mobile setup).
With Concert Window I do 'scheduled' shows, weeks in advance, but can also perform spontaneously when I am in the mood. If you're a Concert Window 'Fan' you'll get notified when I hit that 'Go Live' button. If you haven't checked it out yet, go to https://www.concertwindow.com/richthomsen right now!
I have a show coming up tomorrow (Sunday, August 2nd) at 7pm CST. In that show I'll be playing for 30-40 minutes, including a mix of original and cover songs, as piano/vocal arrangements. Don't forget to say hello! You can watch Concert Window shows on almost any device: computer, laptop, phone, or tablet. You can also "send" your stream to your television via Apple TV or Google Chromecast.
I'm not just talking about Concert Window for listeners. If you'd like to be a part of an upcoming show and live in the Twin Cities metro, please contact me with 1 or 2 songs you'd like to do (eg. piano/guitar/vocal solo or with me) and I'll see if there is a way to work it out.
