Zoz Quandry is a Second Life musician working with electronics such as Ableton Live to create a sequencer act which would not have been possible in the times of Opcode Vision or other sequencer legends of the past.

The kit on the desk is probably a good representation of the hardware Zoz actually uses and I imagine the cigarette is accurate as well. Everyone has to look like a tough guy because, in SL, all the women are beautiful and all of the men are tough guys. The tough guy appearance isn't really important to him as he also does part of his set with a unicycle and a keyboard across his legs. He's an unusual character and we do like unusual.
The thing which struck me yesterday was the combination Zoz made with a modern electro funk and that's not uncommon at all but add in to that samples from swing bands and the combination is exotic.
It's an enormous thing since who listens to electro funk and then thinks, man, this needs Benny Goodman. Well, Zoz does and it's a fascinating performance. It's almost orchestral in some ways.
