How are you?

Good, man. It’s been a crazy year, but a good year. I joined Android Jones’ company, Microdose VR, about two months ago. That just happened.

Last time we spoke, you were talking about a VR product as a training tool to help people learn to lucid dream.

Right, so, I spent some time with my buddy Android Jones, and he had already built it, and he invited me to join the company. And that is Microdose VR. There are four main people who run Vision Agency. Microdose VR is our first project. Coming very soon on Steam, it is a virtual reality experience designed for HTC Vive. It’s a full audio immersive, synesthetic, transcendental experience where you get to paint with sound and light, and be inside music.

Is it heavily driven by the soundtrack, or is it a creative environment?

All of the above. So, one of the levels…we’ll call it a game.

Is it a game? Is there character progression?

No, it’s not a narrative. So, for example, one of the levels is a full unreleased Bluetech track where you’re in a full environment, and using your controller and VR, you paint, and these audio-reactive particle emitters start going out and there’s your beat. And you can move around and through it and explore it. Paint another system and it’s actually making melodies which will start swirling around you. You can move through it, and it’s all audio-reactive. You can paint all the layers of the track, with multiple instances of each piece of that music, and fly around it, through it, go into a vortex into another place. It’s literally like lucid dreaming inside music created by people…and I’m a developer.

Are you hiring?

We will be hiring. We’re bootstrapping right now. We have not taking funding from anybody, despite multiple offers. We’re going to do a crowdfund here in February, and the beta release. It’s ready. It’s playable now. We were at CES, we were at Sundance, we’ll be at GDC, Silicon Valley VR. It’s functional. HTC is using it as one of their flagship “why you should buy our product” demos right now. Yeah, it’s pretty cool.
