Since COVID-19 and the loss of all our live work, I have started doing live streaming audio shows in Second Life, an avatar-based 3-D virtual world. I played in Second Life from 2008 to 2013 as a different way to interact and play live for people all over the world.
Like every musician I know, I miss playing live – a lot. So I remembered my experience in Second Life and thought it would be fun to try it again.
It is!
I used to broadcast the audio to my blog, which was the only way my friends could hear what I was doing. Now, though, in 2020, we have Facebook Live and YouTube which for the first time allows people to see Second Life as well as hear it. So, now I have been broadcasting my shows both audio and video on Facebook Live and YouTube.
You can watch them here on this page as well as YouTube or Facebook.
On Sunday afternoons at 1pm PST, I’ll be doing a House Concert from Idella’s Second Life home.
Here is where you can watch the live stream from Facebook or YouTube
Check the calendar to see when the stream is live – if there’s not a show going on, you won’t hear audio when you click on the player.
