Metaverse Guide – Know where to go in Second Life

Ahhhh.  That’s what you feel when listening to Eponymous play.  Soothing, jazzy, a wonderful way to spend an evening.  I often learn a thing or two about jazz also because Eponymous shares his love and knowledge of jazz with the audience.  I am at this very moment listening to him perform “I Could Write a Book”.  Ahhhhhhh, beautiful!

To find out when to catch Eponymous inworld, join his group – Eponymous Drake Music.  It’s quite useful because there are the occasional impromptu gigs that you won’t want to miss.

Noma rockin’ at Freestar Bay

Noma is, by far, my favorite female performer in SL.  Her soulful voice, reminiscent of Janice Joplin, is a pleasure to listen to whether she’s singing the blues, funk, rock, or something more mellow.  She’s also alot of fun…something that the virtual world performers do so well…create an intimacy with the audience.  Virtual world music is live and raw.   SL wouldn’t be the same without the beloved SL musicians like Noma.  So, come on in and join Noma Falta’s group and see how this gal can belt out some great tunes!

Don’t let this cyborg avatar scare you off.  Meet Komuso Tokugawa…an Aussie living in Japan in real life.  A professional performer doing live gigs in Second Life where he’s “bringing the boogie to the bit stream”.  What can you expect from this guy?  In his own words “gut bucket boogie”, that’s what.  Those words paint the right picture too cuz Komuso’s music is rawwwww!  Its funky, groovin’ beats that reach down to your bones making you want to tap your toes while you bust out your Sine Wave and Animazoo moves!  Imagine a damp, dingy bar, beer spilled everywhere, sweaty rugged types tossing a few cold ones back, and some scantily clad chicks dancing up close to the stage…that’s the kind of music I’m talking about.  It ain’t yer mama’s tea party, its big time dirty boogie!  You’ll definitely hear a few “yeeeehawww”s and maybe see a few girls throwing their bras on stage (jk).  But seriously, if I don’t get a dose on a regular basis…I’m bummed.  I didn’t know how much I missed it until yesterday’s performance where I snapped the pic above.  Love, love, loved it Komuso!

For info about him or his performances look up his profile inworld or TP to his HQ via the above slurl.  To get a dose of his music, which I do encourage….go here:  http://music.sonicviz.com/ You can sample his ambient music as well…but I prefer to boogie!
