RAFTWET Jewell in Second Life

While moving some art pieces around the land, I came across a piece by Elros Tuominen. This is an artist that I found very early in my explorations in Second Life. His work is colorfully morphing with a nod to the mathematical executions of the digital work. Little squares pulsating to unheard music just captivates the viewer.

I have a beautiful colorful piece in my living space on RiverLand. I have meditation pillows surrounding it so that I can sit and absorb the ever changing shapes and colors. With music streaming, I can sit there and zone out to the mesmerizing piece.

I hadn't seen his work lately, so I opened up his profile to check his gallery picks. Two of the landmarks took me high in the empty sky. Frowning, I realized the places were gone, so I looked for Tubular Gallery in his list of picks.

I headed over to Elros Tuominen's Tubular Gallery just to see his latest creations. I landed in Boxed. Boxes changing positions and colors were greeting me. I touched one and my body was instantly set into a fetal position into the interior of one of the boxes.

With the exotic music playing, the boxes morphing and colors oscillating, my avi stayed in the boxed position during this entire upload and post! LOL! So coooool!

Live music in Second Life is a collection of singers, musicians, dj's and performers. I enjoy live music very much both in real life and in SL. Tonight, I was presented with a magnificent performance by Young Zeid aka Xi Yang, a concert violinist. He played at the My Blue Heaven Jazz and Blues club high in the sky surrounded by clouds and delicate scroll work mimicking the woodwork of the violin.

He is a master violinist, not an amateur like me. (Yes, I am a former violinist...) His credentials speak volumes. As a young child, he studied at the Conservatory of Music in Beijing, China. At the tender age of 12, he had over 200 solo performances. At 17, he was the semi finalist at the prestigious Jacques Tibaud International Violin Competition in Paris. And tonight, we were priviledged to hear him play in the comfort of my living room.

Read his profile. His feelings about music is exactly mine...

See Young Zeid aka Xi Yang on youtube.

flax cuttita at hard core

RAFTWET Jewell in Second Life



flax cuttita at hard core, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

I met Flax Cuttita at the first Teknival in Second Life. He, like the rest of us were fans of the hard core or hardstyle trance. I also run into him at DJ Isithedreamaker's club Domina Disco.

Today Flax sent a tp for a new club called Hard Core... hmm, I wonder what kind of music??? LOL! The hard core, or hardstyle trance was beckoning, so I hit that tp so fast! When I got there I commenced to dancing to DJ Steveo Ducrot's cool tunes. Weeeeeee!

Hard Core is a beautifully built club presented by owner, Pawelek Benelli with a nod to technology, spaceships and cyberspace. I just saw the Star Trek movie and this club could be on the hull of the Enterprise. A very big party could happen here since the club is large. I stayed way too long... even after posting the pictures and blog... hardstyle is very addicting. The hard beats get your body moving and it's so hard to stop! Woooot!
