Dreamscape (band)

Dreamscape is a progressive metal band from Munich, Germany.

History

Origins

Dreamscape was founded by Wolfgang Kerinnis (lead guitarist) and Stefan Gassner (rhythm guitarist) in 1986. After numerous changes in the line-up, Tobi Zoltan (singer), Andreas Angerer (drummer) and Benno Schmidtler (bass guitarist) were hired to perform full-time with them. After very thorough preparations, they started performing live in 1992.

The Demos

After a few more line-up changes, they produced three demos in between 1993 and 1995: Dreamscape, Decisions and Changes.

Trance-like State

In 1996, the band recorded its first full-length album in their own studio, titled Trance-like State. It was released through Rising Sun Records almost a year later in 1997.

In the wake of the CD production, the band decided that they needed a keyboard player as a permanent member, hiring Jan Vacik to fill the spot. Vacik's hiring caused a rift, and as a result three members left, including the founding member Gassner.

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.

Dreamscape (chat)

Dreamscape, built on the WorldsAway platform, is one of three distinctive graphical online chat environments, known as virtual zones—or VZones, that allow users to create an avatar to represent themselves in a 2D world and interact with other users and virtual items. Currently Dot8, Inc. develops, manages, and operates Dreamscape. It is a licensed and expanded version of Habitat, which was the first graphical virtual world when it was released by Lucasfilm Games in 1986.

History

Randy Farmer and Chip Morningstar created the first graphical virtual world, which was released in a beta test by Lucasfilm Games in 1986 as Habitat for the Quantum Link service for the Commodore 64. The service proved too costly to be viable, so Lucasfilm Games recouped the cost of development by releasing a sized down version called Club Caribe in 1988. It was then licensed by Fujitsu, and released in Japan as Fujitsu Habitat in 1990. In Dec 1995, Fujitsu licensed Habitat for worldwide distribution, and released it as DreamScape in 1995 through the online service CompuServ.WorldsAway DreamScape was expanded as VZones in 2003. VZones has two worlds, Dreamscape and New Horizone, both of which are further expansions of the original Habitat code.
