I dropped by to hear Stefan Chrousch today at Room 23. A definite underground scene of minimalist music & decor. The beats were enticing as Stefan took us on his musical journey.












Room 23 is a creative build of dingy cracked walls and posters. A concrete floor reminds us that we are in an underground repository of sorts. Room 23 is owned by DeeJayBPM McKeenan and she was playing next. Fun!










The fans were here too, of minimal music and dj Stefan Chrousch. I needed a bit of chill this afternoon... a good way to refocus on the work at hand.

Versatility opens many doors in life... and in Second Life the doors swing wide open for dj's that can spin all kinds of genres.







DJ ETC Dollinger has a wide variety of music in his catalogue of spins. When I first met him, he was spinning electro at many clubs on the grid.









Tonight, ETC is spinning at Valhalla Bar at the Wellfleet Heights Community. Rock and roll is the genre tonight as Nickelback and other popular rock bands were featured in his set. Woot!

The end of the month, January and the year is moving faster than lightening. So much to do with a calendar of events, parties and work that is already scheduled out to fall. Geeesh!

Tonight, we dance to the cool beats of VJ Shojo's tunes. Jazzy fushion of contemporary music and I am in a nice zone. You can hear his spins on Groove Radio.






We are Cafe Groove at Port Shojo surrounded by Shojo Shipworks a collection of boats around the cafe.








The scene here is very cool and chill... not a big crowd, but a group of people who know each other and love VJ Shojo's music. Very nice...

Saturday night on the grid and the after parties begin. Some parties were going on all day long and still more dancing!







We stopped off at HAAD RIN Back Yard at Koh Phangan for a bit of Evah Gothly's chill minimalist music.





This is a nice way to end the evening at Haad Rin after a very long day of media uploads and working on several blogs! Speaking of youtube... Night Harrop sent me this link for Haad Rin concepts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmudpE2Rxi0 Woot!

Contemporary Art in a Classical Setting

Those of you who know me well also know that in real life I love classical music. I am a classically trained musician who plays the violin, guitar, recorder and a bit of piano. Most of the avatars in Second Life usually see me at the clubs where I love love love all kinds of music and dancing. Hee hee I am definitely a clubber at heart!

Last night, though, I spent a wonderful evening at Criss Museum of Contemporary Art. Scotj Criss and his lovely partner, Katerina Burner held "A Baroque Ball" and we attended in full French fashion circa 1600. The Barque Ball was highlighted with a live reading of poetry and live music with Azael Glom who played popular classical compositions on piano.



Both of us had gone to the museum prior to the Baroque Ball a few weeks ago and I had captured some photos of the contemporary art at their main gallery. The gallery itself is a piece of sculptural architecture and compliments the art inside.

Much thanks to Scotj and Katerina for allowing us to view their private art collection and their lovely Baroque Ball!

Tonight we are club hopping around the grid checking out new and old places. One of our members, Kirin Serevi of Substance club was spinning at Agape.









Agape is a cleanly built club in black and white with touches of gray. A beautiful waterfall cascades behind the dj booth and lends a bit of nature in this beautiful club.






The owner, Carlos Kirshner was on the dance floor along with his partner, Goli Fierenza. Both of them were greeting everyone with a friendly welcome... always nice to see the owners enjoying themselves, too!









Kirin Serevi was spinning a great set of electro tunes, so we hung out and danced for a while. It's Thursday and the weekend is looming near! Woot!
