The Oxymore experience will be showcased in the USA tomorrow at the SXSW festival.

Oh, and it was last sunday too.

So not for us to attend in VRChat ?

I don't know, the website doesn't say much. It's a festival, so I'm speculating that people who are at the festival can attend it.

Yes, agree with you Jones.
I really really like to get a niche, a hit album, that could receive a widespread acclaim.

Received this message from Aero Prod.:

Done!

Voted yesterday!

It's in the lead now, but as a close 2nd is the Eurovision village which might be a strong contender.

Eurovision has taken the lead now, it made a big leap!

Oh man, 3rd place now? I expected the Eurovision thing to do good, but Oxymore deserves better

According to the SACEM database, the tracklist is:

OXYMORE OUVERTURE (92)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 1 (283)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 2 (266)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 3 (438)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 4 (266)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 5 (199)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 6 (344)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 7 (234)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 8 (231)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 9 (280)
OXYMORE MOUVEMENT 10 (324)

Let's see how these new lengths fit with the recording that we have:

1. old "Movement 1" (06:14) is now "Overture/Movement 1" (01:32 + 04:43 = 06:15) - same length
2. old "Movement 2" (04:29) stays "Movement 2" (04:26) - same length
3. old "Movement 3/4/5" (02:08 + 03:52 + 05:43 = 11:43) are now recombined into new "Movement 3/4" (07:18 + 04:26 = 11:44) - same length *)
4. old "Movement 6" (03:21) is now "Movement 5" (03:19) - same length
5. old "Movement 7" (05:44) is now "Movement 6" (05:44) - same length
6. old "Movement 8" (03:51) is now "Movement 7" (03:54) - up to this moment everything matches up with regards to lengths/cumulative lengths
7. old "Movement 9" (03:23) is now "Movement 8" (03:51) - looks like there's 30 seconds of extra material that weren't there
8. old "Movement 10" (04:39) is now "Movement 9" (04:40) - again, same length
9. old "Movement 11" (05:24) is now "Movement 10" (05:24) - again, same length

Summing up: different slicing of the source material for the first couple of tracks, one of the tracks is extended by approx. 30 seconds. Total duration increased from 48:49 to 49:17.

*) Upon listening the new slicing makes sense for Overture/Movement 1 (also joining old Movements 3 and 4 into one) but anything beyond the 6th minute of the new "Movement 3" clearly belongs to the next one ("Movement 5" in the old naming scheme which went from 05:43 to 04:26, musically that makes zero sense). New "Movement 3" should be 06:00 instead of 07:18, new "Movement 4" should be 05:44 instead of 04:26.

I honestly still haven't given this a listen...
