You can still catch me on the following web address:

Just a few things to mention in the pipeline...

* Further down the road, there may be a possibility of streaming in video my SL performances in realtime, which you can view inworld during gigs. So watch this space!

 

A Summary of my journey so far...
Currently my performances mostly revolve around the virtual world of Secondlife. It is a fantastic opportunity to reach out to listeners from all over the world without leaving your home, Likewise, it's a great opportunity for music fans to check out live gems from the comfort of theirs.

5 May

The debut in Second Life was absolutely fab! And the second show to Second Life staff and volunteers was equally an amazing experience! As a result I'm able to share my music live to audiences from across the world without leaving behind a single additional carbon footprint! How planet friendly is that??

Now I realise that many of you may find this concept weird and surreal! But this is no different really to podcast. Think of it as podcast. And good news! It does appear that you could still listen in on my live stream without needing to go into Secondlife!

Come nearer the time, I will provide you with a url streaming web address which you'll just need to go to on your web browser and in so doing you can listen in on my live performance like you would an internet radio station.

So please check back for details.

Meanwhile, make a date! My upcoming 1-hour concert details are:

8 May - 3 pm PDT / 11 pm GMT
14 May - 2 pm PDT / 10 pm GMT

Speak soon!

Lotsa luv,
Phoenix J

Hi!

Hope you are well?

It's been an interesting and exciting last few months for me... I've been experimenting...

I have puzzled over how to play a show near you from across the world... and here's one perfect solution!

On Friday May 2, I will be giving a debut live performance through web streaming on the online portal called Second Life... the first show of many more!

Huh? What is Second Life?? You may ask...

"Second Life is a 3-D virtual world created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe."

More info can be read on
http://secondlife.com/whatis/. Best of all you can be anywhere in the world, in your own home, on your own computer! You can hear and "see" me perform live in the intimacy of your own home without needing to travel far!

Already there is a vibrant live music scene in there and I'm rather excited about being a part of it. I will be performing acoustically with just voice and self-accompanied on piano, and playing mostly originals, including several brand new songs that will be performed live in front of an audience for the first time.

I do hope you'll be able to join me inworld. Signing up is free and easy :). Go to this link to sign up (please do say hi when you get there).


* Gig Info:

Venue: The ViBe HQ in Second Life
Direct Venue Link: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shaea/240/213/25
Date: Friday May 2, 2008
Time: 10 PM Greenwich Mean Time (or British Time)
(ie. 11 PM EU Time / 2 PM Pacific Standard Time / 2 PM Second Life Time)


Once you've activated a new account, download (http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php) the Second Life client and sign in. Just copy and paste the venue link above onto your web browser and hit go. You will get a "Land Mark" link to "teleport" straight there!

Alternatively, let me know if you're planning on attending by replying with your Second Life account name (don't need confidential info!) and I'll send you a "Land Mark". Click "teleport" on it when you log in.

It may take some time to get used to starting/creating a new account... To avoid missing my debut, do signup now! If you have any questions to any of the above, do not hesitate to ask also.

Hope to see you soon!! And don't forget to say hi!

Lotsa Luv,

Phoenix J (Phoe Nix on Secondlife.com)
