This is a short story of how a band called Wends survived the trip to Canadian Music Week. In May, the long anticipated trip to Toronto was finally at hand. After six months of recording and mixing our debut album, we rocked away our rust in Bar Loose, Helsinki, on first of May. Immediately after the gig ended, we started packing our instruments and toothbrushes, ready to get airborne and off to the 51st state of America... I mean, Canada. Luckily we had one day to rest in Helsinki before leaving. 3.5 The airplane was packed with movies, beer and anticipation. Over seven hours of fly-time to the first change of flights, included watching movies, sleeping, going around the plane a little handing out stickers to various people, and playing chess with the crappiest touch screen computers ever made (thanks to it’s own will I lost... Twice). First stop, JFK New York!  Our singer Vilppu Amazing 15 minutes of free Wi-Fi per device made it hard to keep Instagram posted, but we managed...

My initial feeling about this trip was excitement! It was awesome to get to attend Nordic Game this year! It was the 12 th time the conference was held and it promised good times right from the start based on the speakers and the nominees. The indie game night was the absolute highlight of the event in my opinion. The nominees were fresh and interesting! Besides, it is always a rare treat to get to play the game while chatting with the developers themselves.   It turned out that I had a lot of favourites among the speakers, but here I have been trying to concentrate on the ones that fit the subject of ”The Future of Gaming”. They raised a lot of hopes and questions in my head about the future and I will try my best to sum it up here. The Future of Gaming It seems that Virtual Reality will be a huge part of the future of games. There is a lot of going on on that front today since we are currently living in a historical period where it is actually possible to make affordable VR devic...

This spring, the TAMK students of the Mediapolis campus have been creating something entirely new. Mediapolis, as many already know, is a media campus in Tampere, Finland, where the creative industries and technology are combined. The Tampere University of Applied Sciences students, together with the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE and media entrepreneurs have incubated a crossmedia publishing platform called Test Chamber Mediapolis . ( www.testchamber.fi ). Test Chamber Mediapolis is a place where brave new programming ideas generated by TAMK students can be published. The Test Chamber has been optimized for today's changing media environment, where the traditional rules of television programmin and film making will be challenged and jumped over. The Test Chamber Mediapolis (or TCMP) got started from a known need: Traditional television programming has become less than interesting for part of the viewers. There have been several hits in YouTube series, but almost none of these h...

Brighton is a city at the South Coast of England. It is known for its beautiful seafront and the amazing small alleys with pubs and small stores. Once a year Brighton turns into the Mecca of the European music scene. The Great Escape Festival – Europes leading music festival for new music – takes over the city and brings the hottest new acts from all over to the local stages. Also this year a group of TAMK students was allowed to be part of this great experience and travelled for five days to Great Britain.   OUR THE GREAT ESCAPE - BRITAIN DIARY WEDNESDAY, 13.05.2015 It is around noon when we leave our beloved Tampere direction Helsinki airport and early evening when we land in London/Gatwick and the country of the Queen and Fish & Chips.

Also Peppiina - who was coming from Leeuwarden/Neth...
