Collaborative music sites NetMusicMakers.com and MyVirtualBand.com (open source music and online collaboration) will be consolidated and relaunched as a social networking site for musicians and fans. Sacramento-based House of Hansen Productions, which owns NetMusicMakers.com, has acquired MyVirtualBand.com for an undisclosed sum. MyVirtualBand.com was founded by Scott Mason and Kelly Senecal, computational fluid dynamics engineers who wanted to find a way to continue to play together after they earned their Ph.Ds and moved three time zones apart. The new site, due in ealry 2007, will offer musicians the chance to personalize sites, join bands, collarborate and mix tunes. Two features that sound fresh: a multi-channel internet radio station to showcase original songs and an internet house band with “world-class studio and touring musicians;” the band will provide downloadable, royalty-free loop tracks for use in recording, mixing, and creating original music.
