I just joined the Koinup blogging team and I'll be writing stories about the magic of music in virtual worlds, affectionately labeled Grace's Liner Notes.

Liner notes are a wondrous mix of music inspired art, words and untold stories, and that's exactly what I hope to share as well as share tips and insights about live music in general - from being a performer to hosting your own venue.

I'm always open to story ideas so please drop me a comment here or contact me if you have a euphony scoop to share.

Peace, art and music ~ Grace

It was first held in 2003 when the Second Life grid was still in it's infancy, and it's inspired by the real life Art, Fire and Community festival known globally as Burning Man.

Today at 3PM SL (6PM PDT) I have the honor of playing at the Center Camp Tent Stage and I hope you can join us there.
 
Do yourself a favor and come a little early so you can explore some of the fine art installations, like Poid Mahovlich'sCabaret of Flames - an immersive experience of fire, drums and dance - a trance like environment, which opens a parallel door from Burning Life to Burning Man , as if you stepped onto the Real Life Playa at Burning Man.

Sunday October 11th marks the final day of production for Musimmersion 2009 in Second Life ™.

The last show will start at 3:00PM SL (PDT) on October 11th and seats will remain first come, first served.

Musimmersion would not have happened this year without the kind generosity, vision and shared passion of SeanMcPherson Senior who dedicated his sim Blank Canvas, his time, his gentle humor and his friendship - without which none of this would have transpired. Thank you Sean.

On Saturday I got to present Musimmersion as a live event to the people attending SLCC as part of the Music Track.

It was a fantastic experience, and today I stumbled upon a photo of what it looked like from the conference floor on the big screen. 

Many thanks to Apollo Manga - Second Life avatar of Erik Gordon Bainbridge and author of the Avatar Planet blog.

ALL LIVE & ALL ORIGINAL!

The O R I G I N A L S came to life in SL during summer 2008. A travelling group of artists. The premise is original thought, live and quality music. The brainchild of POL Arida & The Shippe who wanted to bring more original music to the masses of SL! Each month we present a selection of some of SL's finest live musicians performing all original sets at various venues around the Grid.

This Sunday, 9th August we are at MENORCA Live Music Events Island live from 10am slt!
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Menorca/71/174/26


The ORIGINALS this month are Cylindrian Rutabaga , Avvy Barzane ,Grace McDunnough, Mulder Watts, POL Arida, Dann Numbers, Pilgrim75 Swashbuckler, Blindboy Gumbo, Matthew Perreault, Spence Wilder, and Slim Warrior!

Linden Lab has asked the live performance community for our suggestions, ideas, complaints and genius bits about how to improve the overall experience for everyone - from performers to venue owners and event planners to residents.

Ideally, we want to hear from everyone and you can help - just add your ideas and insights using the embedded form linked from here.

As part of the SLCC Music Track, we will be having a discussion about this with Linden Lab on Saturday at 3PM SL/PDT on the panel: Looking to the Future of Live Performance in SL with Colossus Linden.

Everyone's input will be collected, we'll organize the information, and we'll talk about as much as we possibly can at SLCC.  We'll also make sure that the information is accessible to anyone that is interested.

Please spread the word and thanks in advance.
