Led Heads! More Zeppelin!

Special announcement from Whispering Ruins, from my good friend Tomorrow Solo -

~WHISPERING RUINS VIDEO EVENT~

ROYAL ALBERT HALL 1970 (VIDEO)
TUESDAY 31st 5-7 pm slt
Achilleion Auditorium
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Whispering%20Cove/8/248/26


background: Led Zeppelin’s January 9th, 1970 appearance at the Royal Albert Hall is one of their most important gigs in their career.
This was their first high profile concert in London after Led Zeppelin II displaced The Beatles’ Abbey Road from the number one position in the charts and drew much attention. The band also understood its significance by professionally filming and recording with the intention of releasing it as a film later in the year. That plan was scrapped and the footage wouldn’t be officially issued for another thirty-three years.

:) Soni!

Immersive art, sound and video installation by Thoth Jantzen

Opens Sunday 22nd August @ 3pm SLT

s i m p l e x i t y is the latest creation from multimedia artist Thoth Jantzen and combines a heady mix of video, prim sculpture and some distinctive texturing techniques that will take you on a trip through sound and space.

Emphasizing media from the ‘demoscene’ sub culture that embraces digital art, sound and video in one, this multi-level installation has astounding features at every twist and turn.

Some have called it "‘You Tube’ on steroids with a massive dose of LSD" while others who have seen the advance preview have called it ‘a huge, legal trip’.

For certain, this new build is pushing the boundaries of how we perceive sound and visuals in virtual worlds and is destined to become a must see location in SL this year.

Explore labyrinths full of sound and color, slide down fractal spirals or sit and relax on the chairs with full sim viewing options.

!!!!!! HEALTH WARNING !!!!!!

. EPILEPSY WARNING: If you have epilepsy or otherwise are adversely affected by rapidly flashing lights and changing colors, this exhibit isn't good for you -- seriously!

Press Information

Creator: Thoth Jantzen
Press Enquiries: Persia Bravin

About the creator:
Thoth Jantzen is an avatar who's been in SL for just shy of 4 years. He specializes in building multi-media based immersive environments and 'media-active sculpture'. His work has been featured at NMC/Ars Simulacra, the CARP/Diabolus art space, and with the Caerleon Art Collective as well as at some real-world exhibits, including the Virtual Art Initiative and the "How We Play" exhibition at the Neutral Ground gallery for contemporary art. When he's not busy messing with your mind aurally and visually, he likes to do it through participation in discussions about philosophy and science, and he's been active as a member, advisor, and organizer in a number of SL educational, science, philosophy, and art communities.

Statement on build by Thoth Jantzen:

“Enjoy the experience! When you arrive, click the "play" button in your media controller, and explore - that's it! We do suggest first trying out the seating pads in the entry area (make sure your media's working, then point and click to get on, then hit ESC two times. When you're done, just click 'stand up' to get off) but there's no real path you must follow - just go where you like! We do suggest you take your time and look around - there's a LOT to see and experience - but you can do it at your own pace in whatever order you wish. And, of course, you're always welcome to return! To enter the main build, just point and click on the portal pool in the centre of the entry area. The name of this build derives from what you get when 'complexity' emerges from 'simplicity' -- I hope its obvious!”

Technical Details
The s i m p l e x i t y experience relies heavily on streaming media, and therefore requires the viewer to have QuickTime installed plus media streaming enabled in edit/preferences for maximum enjoyment.

Woodstock 41st Anniversary Tribute - All Weekend

THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE
http://slurl.com/secondlife/RIchmond%20Beach/120/40/592

I dropped by 7AM SLT into The Underground Garage, and the outside venue was busy grooving to the tribute tunes from DJ Mch Ronas. Psychedelic outfits, tents, hippie buses - and lots of peace, love and rock and roll.

All weekend, catch the entire Woodstock show plus Tribute Concerts from the Who, Janis Joplin , CCR and Jimi Hendrix. It's a recreation of the Woodstock stage. The DJ's and Radio will be playing nothing but 60's music all weekend long!

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

Then I popped over to Woodstock69, a venue founded by FranDJ Dean that is a replica of Woodstock. The stage was massive, lots of hippie buses in sixties' pastels. Plenty of room for your free spirit, and cool posters from the past. You can anticipate great music year-around at Woodstock69 - for they keep the party going all year around. They just stepped up the events for this anniversary weekend. I had a chat with part owner GuyGuy Lemon, and he said that Saturday was packed.

12PM-2PM SLT: DJ (Karina123 Karu) - Woodstock favs including Santana, Jimi Hendrix, and Joplin
2PM-3PM SLT: OnlyHalfCrazy Gumbo Live

Thanks for asking! A bit of time travel to the 80s scene, then a futuristic look at vitual ballet, and then its back to the country with Keith Urban! Plus many live musicians and special music events across the grid!

If you like the 80s, and those big DOs, Second Life has its fill of 80s events, and Saturday is not exception. Lightning Productions presents the 1980s band "Whitesnake" at Eden Naturist Resort... they organizers say it is "the perfect location for snakes...and apples...to the Floating Stage." Saturday, 4PM

Then Ballet Pixelle presents their 10th original ballet that "truly explores movement and the arts in Second Life." Enjoy the whimsical side of ballet, as Real Life and Second Life merge in one amazing performance: "This ballet is not just arabesques and plies...its a manifestation of virtual limits." Choreography and animations is by artistic director Inarra Saarinen. Music by Solary Clary & Sora Izumikawa. Sundays at 5:00pm SLT through August.

Beach Party at Umberto's Isle!







I love working for Best of Second Life Magazine. My assignment today - just before my radio show - was to cover a beach party and to take lots of pics! The beach party was a major invite that went out from Club Nine Owner Umberto Giano to his friends and patrons. Umberto wanted to share his gorgeous new sim - wonderful beachfront. Sandy, pastel blue white rippled waves. My assignment was to photograph the sexy, sleek oiled bods of Second Life caught grooving to the awesome tunes of BOSL Radio's Bren Bretts and Atreyu Witrial. More photos will be posted on the BOSL blog.


BTW, a 15K prize went to the summer's steamiest stud!

Club Nine, Mondays, 8-10PM SLT, SL'S Newest and Hottest Mix of Men and Music, at the Warehouse on Club Road (132, 180, 24)
