  • A virtual band (also called a virtual group or cartoon band), in music, is any group whose members are not corporeal musicians, but animated characters. The music is recorded (and, in the case of concerts, performed) by human musicians and producers, while any media related to the virtual band, including albums, video clips and the visual component of stage performances, feature the animated line-up; in some cases, the virtual band members have been listed as the writers and performers of the songs. Live performances can become rather complex, requiring perfect synchronization between the visual and audio components of the show. The term virtual band was popularised with Gorillaz in 2000; however, the concept of the virtual band was first demonstrated by Alvin and the Chipmunks back in 1959, when their creator, Ross Bagdasarian, accelerated recordings of his own voice to achieve the 'chipmunk voice'. There have since been various bands that have recorded material, including, but not restricted to, The Archies, JuJu Eyeballs, Mistula and The Bots. Each group has used different animation and recording techniques to achieve their desired effect, the most common being computer animation, traditional animation, and vocal mixing and manipulation. In recent years, the term has also come to be used for music groups who collaborate using the Internet, no longer requiring the members to be present in the same place. See Internet band for more information on this phenomenon.
  • Wirtualny zespół, wirtualna grupa muzyczna – w muzyce, jest to grupa składająca się nie z prawdziwych ludzi, lecz z fikcyjnych, najczęściej animowanych postaci. Muzyka jest nagrywana (i w przypadku koncertów na żywo odgrywana) przez prawdziwych artystów i producentów muzycznych, podczas gdy media związane z muzyką, takie jak okładki albumów, teledyski i elementy wizualne występów na żywo są reprezentowane przez fikcyjne postaci; w niektórych przypadkach fikcyjne postaci zapisywane są w przypisach jako prawdziwi autorzy piosenek. Termin wirtualny zespół został spopularyzowany w 2000 roku wraz ze wzrostem popularności Gorillaz, jednak koncepcja fikcyjnego zespołu po raz pierwszy pojawiła się w 1959 roku wraz z "zespołem" Alvin and the Chipmunks, gdzie Ross Bagdasarian przyspieszał swoje nagrania w celu uzyskania wysokiego głosu, który miał być głosem fikcyjnych wiewiórek będących "wirtualnymi" członkami zespołu.
  • Bandas virtuais são bandas cujos membros não são músicos reais, mas personagens animados. As canções são gravadas pelos verdadeiros músicos e produtores, mas eles não aparecem em clipes, capas de álbuns, shows, nem em qualquer mídia relacionada ao grupo. Em alguns casos, como nos discos do Gorillaz, seus nomes são listados no encarte. Os shows ao vivo requerem perfeita sincronia entre os componentes visuais e sonoros.
