Books and Beats - Reflecting on the SL Scene

 Sometimes it is difficult to keep up with my Second Life because of my annoying real life.  I am sure you know what I mean, if you have invested any quality of time in-world.  There are some things that run concurrently through both worlds for me - books and beats!   I have written and read far less since I moved West, but what has kept me sane has been music!   Even when I have little time for anything else in SL, I hangout at a virtual venue and listen to the amazing SL talent!

So here I am again, this week, getting ready from the little studio behind my beach condo on Book Island, listening to some cool jazz streaming through the villa.    In a few minutes, I will be hosting my radio show once again  - a mix of talent from all over the world broadcast through the stream of SL Live Radio!  See how to listen at the end of this blog!   Hope you can join me.  By the way, at the same time as my show, book island has some cool gatherings to inspire writers!    I would be there if I could, but it's nearly showtime.

Eclipse Fever on Slow Bake

Sonicity at SL Live Radio's station located in Mad Pea!  "I am not afraid of no eclipse."
Back with my show in time to feature music on the theme of Monday's solar eclipse!
I have been looking for songs that align themselves along this line, from the mysteries of the moon. Mother Nature, and everything in between.  Some songs that come to mind - Gina Stella's 'Under the Same Moon,' Harry Frychester's cover of 'Moondance," and The Follow's 'Love Eclipses,' just as a start.

So let's have a solar eclipse party in-world Sunday at noon, until 2pm SLT, mostly featuring SL musicians, singers, and a few extra like the amazing Jenny Johnson, who actually wrote a song "Solar Eclipse" and released a EP dedicated to the town of Makanda, right there at the epicenter of it all, and it boasts that viewing will be the longest in their small town in IL.

I will also be playing many of the regular favorites from SL artists as well, who sing their hearts out on a nearly daily basis night and day, regardless of what is going on outside in the so called real world.

Summer Travels, Real and Virtual, Let the Music Play On

Summertime fun in the virtual sound lab!


Hiya again.  I'm ready to roll again in Second Life.   It's been awhile, but all good things must come to an end - or must they?    Here's my latest travels this summer - inner and outer worlds.     I had some good times this past month, from California to Illinois to NYC and to Arizona, and then back to the Bay Area.  I actually was on the studio set of Good Morning America, waving in the audience. The studio is located in Times Square.
Setting up for a performance - yeah cool! 
I missed my show, and my SL friends, but upon returning, I have made some Sansar friends.  I have my toe in the creative sands of Sansar, just attempting to wade deep enough so I stay afloat.    I have been thinking alot of what I want to create there, and definitely I want to establish a live music presence in both SL and Sansar, and perhaps every VW, right? 

I am also back to writing again about VR and VWs, mostly academic, but I plan to return to my old journalistic musings, reporting on what's trendings related to virtual culture.





I went back to my Sound Lab project (pics above) to inspire me, and I will soon be back streaming regularly.    I want to freshen up my sounds, updating my playlist with any new releases.

Other than that, life is good!   How about you?     You will hear from me soon enough!  Check in next week, and I will let you know what's up.
