U MAY HAVE TO CLICK THIS VIDEO BOX IN ORDER TO VIEW THE LIVE BROADCAST

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!!!!

I’m excited! Collaborations are always a good thing, and in the era of technology, we have so many opportunities to reach out and connect with people that live oceans away from us. A few years back, I started to dual stream with a friend of mine in Second Life, ‘Ricardo Sprocket’ or Rich Petko. He had introduced so many musicians from around the world, to some simple ways to dual stream…meaning, that everyone who is tuned into the stream we use to broadcast a live performance, hears us as if we were in the same room. In fact, often that is what newer people in Second Life think…Eventually I was hooking up with various musicians for the dual streaming…I would perform and they would do a lead guitar while I played or harmonies on vocals.

The first person on the stream…gives their stream info. to the 2nd person on the stream. That person, is the main Broadcaster. The first person begins and the 2nd person hears everything as if they were in the same room. However, the first person can not hear the 2nd person. Make sense? It’s actually much simpler than it sounds. Anyway..more opportunities came along outside of the realm of SecondLife. Phil Rossi, Linus Radford and currently am dual streaming in second life with Tukso Okey who plays a MEAN Acoustic Blues! We do this every Thursday at Living ROom #13. The benefits of this include reaching a bigger audience. Their fans come to see them, yours come to see you…imagine the possibilities with this!  The 2nd person on the stream is the one who can record the stream, live…that way you can listen back to it and hear what the other person is doing…it only gets better!

Boris Van Luger, a musician from Switzerland that I met about 2 years ago on TheSixtyone.com and I have been working on little things, ideas here and there. About a month or so ago, he asked me to write something for a video he was working on ‘Stories from Pain’ and so I sent him some words..which he used at the end of this video…and now, it’s “lover”…a song I wrote a couple years ago…This guy is pure genius, no doubt about that, and we talked about the song Lover. Thinking how great it would be for Boris to do his version of my song…a couple days later, in an email was the song…Lover-retake. I was in awe..No words..he wrote “Put your vocals on this and send just your vocals back to me, I will do the rest’…WOW. Now I wasn’t quite expecting this…So it’s the newest project here with me. Not that it’s hard for me to lay down a vocal track, but it’s doing my own song, to someone else’s interpretation of my song…it flows just like my original…but Boris put some very sweet sounds in his retake, Big bending lovely guitar sounds among other instruments..percussion etc.

BIG Gratitude here…and how the whole world can connect through social media websites such as T61. Reverbnation. Youtube and now UVUMI.com is sweet as well! (I like it MUCH better than T61). I just wanted to share that. I realize I haven’t been keeping this updated as of late, and I thought I’d fill you in on some of the tastier things that have come my way. My hopes and goals here, are to continue such wonderful collaborations. Making music is my passion in life, writing lyrics and the biggest compliment ever, is when another  musician, wants to do your song.  There are about a half a dozen musicians doing their own interpretation of my song Lover…and each one brings a certain sweetness to how they do it. Such BIG LOVE to them for asking, and for taking it to a whole new level of perception.

I’ll keep you posted, and perhaps even upload part of this completely remarkable experience…there is more to come.  If you get a chance, stop by Living Room #13 for Dirty Thursdays at 4pm PST (SLT).

Much love, peace and bright pretty stars!!! -

It was a THRILL today, to feel like I actually got things done.  For the past 2 weeks since I have quit smoking, I’ve had a LOT of energy…and really needed to change the scenery around me, in this space, I call ‘my studio lounge’…it’s home within home.  It all started out during a conversation with my Mom….how we tend to Hold onto things, find it hard to get rid of that ONE sock you ca n’t find the other match for, BUT YOU MIGHT, so you hold onto it, and other useless things, old mail, notes, papers, things I no longer use or wear. FIVE Trash bags later, and I had ROOM again for well, SPACE…then I moved onto the other room, cleaned it out, emptied dressers, and it’s now used as a guest room, storage room and photo room…THEN to this Lounge here….HOLY CRAP do I ever have a bunch of USELESS STUFF, and all those papers that I write Notes on, so I don’t forget..O..I found those, but I have no idea what they mean anymore!

Apparently doing this triggers other things to happen, like creativity finds it’s way back into your world, cuz you um…HAVE ROOM for it…and it creates this ebb and flow of timelessness. For lack of a better way to explain. I updated as many old websites as I could. I added new songs on my new Uvumi Site. I added new pieces to a series I’m working on called “Shabby Espesso Heart”  more or less of a Valentines Project.  You might like to have a peek! My Art on Etsy!

Just sharing some stuff.  Also, I’m working on a way to get a perm. box on the side, for the Untitled #13 CD, as I currently have a Cover for it, done by my good friend Alan Seeger who you might  know as Phoenix Psaltry. He has offered to do art for the Untitled CD, and since I mail my discs out in Bright colored paper sleeves, I have no room on it for art work….So instead it’s Perfect for the Icon to purchase the cd…it will link direct to paypal.  It is unlikely I will be putting #13 up on iTunes anytime soon. But you can still purchase the other two cd’s there, or individual songs.  New things are still happening with thissite…So don’t surprised if things get a little re arranged from time to time, or Often (depends on my mood eh?)

Have a Big Bag of Peace!
