Live n Kickin’

Sure, I’ll admit, I had slight anxiety over this broadcast…but once the camera’s started rolling and the curtains opened up…and all the amazing patience and positive energy coming from my fans, it was as easy as breathing!  I stood on my wooden stage, with a view of bright stars, animated giant guitars, flowers and a colorful display of virtual dress, flexi colors waving around, stars moving from beneath me and a full 30 minutes to dive into nothing buy my own Original Songs. Treet.tv was wonderful…patient as always. We ended up starting a bit later than scheduled due to the Treet Tv live stream which was also up, for people that couldn’t make it to the live show, so they could view it on the Tv.

Now, upon watching it, a couple days afterwards, there are a few things I would have done differently. MOUTH HUDS…get used to them, they are incredible. I didn’t have time to play with this great little piece of technology enough to make it work for me, so I have been completely distracted if I Watch the Video…when the camera is on my avatar’s face…the lips just aren’t quite moving the way I would have liked them to. My avatar looks like she is going through a series of constant surprises, opening her mouth and sucking in some air with this Startled look on her face. It makes me laugh…so this is always a good thing eh? And I would also like to get more familiar with the animated stage moves that come along with Live Tv Broadcasts in Second Life.       Considering SL is a virtual atmosphere, people work very hard to create content and scripts that allow us to be as much like our Physical real life selves as possible (if we so choose to look like we really do..) So, a microphone is set up that has built in scripted animations…to make the performer move in a way that they feel most comfortable.  Someone else controls your animations (if you so choose to have that..or if it is TreetTV) So my friend and Live n Kickin Host “DELINDA” was in charge of the animations. We went through them all before showtime, and it worked out quite well.  It’s best not to watch yourself when performing HAA!!!

All in all, the crowd and staff of Treet.Tv were amazing, the filming went great, and the compliments on my Living Room #13 Art Shack were never ending. Considering I built that one myself, I was quite pleased that people enjoyed the Flow of color, textures and the interactive things I have placed everywhere … as I do in all my creations!  I’ve had the Original Living Room #13 for about 5 years now…and LOVE LOVE it…it was built by Attim Hokkagai….after some time, I decided to add onto it…The Art Shack!!! It’s located above Gwampa Lomu’s fantastic sims and it’s because of him, that my Living Room #13 continues to thrive with fantastic events and musicians.  This is NOT to be confused with the Look Alike LIving Room #13 where Lauren Weyland does her show!!! She’s a great friend as well, and of course asked permission to Build her place similar to mine…you’ll have to check her out  on the grid!!

Again Thank you Everyone for all your support and for being part of my journey both in the virtual world, and in my physical life!

Still Looking for some Music? Check out #13…my newest release and my least expensive.  I am currently NOT using iTunes and choose to sell my Cd’s the old fashioned way…by having them delivered direct to your mailbox…so you can hold it in your hand and do as you wish with it. Untitled #13′s Tab is located at the top of this page.

MUCH PEACE!!!!

Celebration de la Femme

Celebration de la FemmeWork has hit me…the work of passion, of something, anything I can create, I am content with.  Seems I’ve been kind of stuck on a songwriting bender…working with my amazing and talented friend Boris Van Luger is a journey I’m absolutely HIGH on….gotta love that feeling of a great collaboration.  But meanwhile, I’ve had these new songs surface in me, and just  haven’t been able to write them. So my creative soul took to the ink….pressed it on the paper, and started to do what I’ve always done since I can remember, DOODLE.

Doodles have a magical way of turning into things, and more things and more things…..so after a couple days of consulting my imagination, and what is the shape of this word….and more odd questions of this Bipolar mind of mine….I finished with this.

I call it Celebration de la femme, for a few reasons. One, I am french rooted, french blooded crazy american…. I’m also an artist…and i love playing with words, I think we all do on some level….and well, Celebration of women sounds cool, but to me Celebration de la Femme is more fitting. Other reason? I’m refreshing my french….problem is, I should do it over my morning coffee, not my evening beer…..memory, ya know?

Working on some of the recordings for “Garage Tracks”…and processing New Variations of “Lover” with Boris Van Luger, as well as all these odd interpretations that are sprouting up, just because I’ve been doing something different, with someone different….than where I am used to being. I love the challenge of this, and I love what is becoming of it.

If you have no checked out Untitled #13, please do!!!

Much love
