Live music in SL - 5 of the best PART 1
There is an incredible amount of music in the virtual world of Second Life - so much that I could spend most of my time exploring and listening and never get any work done!! . . Here are some of my favourites so far . . . Search their profiles and find a gig
MUSICIANS
Torben Asp - Danish Electronica - very uplifitng, melodic and euro-rhythmic. Lots of good stories and now with a great Particle Show. His venue is the Yard Club Ethereal
ZeroOne Paz - Unique San Francisco Bay cool Jazz vibes and original songs/music with covers arranged in his inimitable style from Leonard Cohen to Talking Heads and Michael Franks. His Home is the Bluffs
Cypress Rosewood - Native American Flutes with Ambient Synths and Guitars. All live from his studio in TN. One of the pioneers of space music in SL.
DJs
DJ Miles Eleventhauer - if you are a true jazz buff catch one of Miles Jazz shows. Thursday night @ Sugar Hill is a good start - that's where I found him. Plays all kinds of jazz including fusion and acid jazz with the stories behind the music from the jazzologist.
DJ Format - aka Formatting Heliosense - Earlier this century the RL radio program 'electric brainwaves' gained much recognition and notice in the ambient music circuit. In 2005 the show went off the air and has been on hiatus ever since but this show has come back in SL only. For those who cherish the sounds of ambient/idm/glitch/noise and experimental electronic music. His home is the Wandering Star . The Wandering Star Indie Club, Phasmogoria (59, 21, 601)
Invite me to a gig!

Music for the Soul Festival - the Welsh Edition
Last night we had a Welsh edition of the Music for your Soul Festival "Downstairs" in the music ALL music Peace Park.
It was a small intimate affair with Welsh Translations by Brywnwyn Llewellyn and tea and welsh cakes served by Mystical One and Ghryndd. JaNa read from the book of Welsh Sayings that Melanie Safka had sent her and played welsh folk tunes like Ar Hyd y Nos and Suogan in her electronic rhythmic reflective way
These are nice hours to relax
Look out for the next one - one day next week @4PM Probably be a children's hour

Music and Technology School
Last Wednesday I was surprised how many people turned up for the Music and Technology Class.
It was a "dummy run" but seemed to work out quite well, starting with me talking on the stream and then going into voice chat for real time Q+A
Some of the subjects we broached at the first Music and Technology School included
streams
software
numerical IPs
voice chat
mixing
headsets
what can go wrong?
I tried to help clear up misconceptions about
web address vs website
podcast vs mp3
nicecast vs icecast
tips and donations
The first week was a trial run and the fee was by donation - a "what you can afford" hour.
I would like to keep it like that. The current rate of exchange is $280 Lindens = $1 US dollar
Thankyou
Please IM or email me with questions for next week's session
