Slang Life Pyramide Club Remake and Reactivation

By the beginning of this weekend, we shall be ready with the new image of the Pyramide Club on SlangLife Island. The new image will better fit the new musical characteristics of the club. We plan to move toward minimal techno, click and react. New DJ's, new faces, new musical era in Pyramide is soon to begin.

Here is the last picture of the old club looks. It served us well, but this Friday you shall see the difference!

Thom Dowd in Concert - SL'ang Life Library

Thom Dowd -performing Live for the Slang Life audience


On saturday 26.01.2008 we had a fantastic live concert of Thom Dowd, playing a repertoire of renaissance dance music. Our Library got crowded long before Thom started to play and while he was playing, new avatars kept coming. It was a great experience both from the musical and educational point of view. I was quite surprized that so many avatars are actively interested in classical music. We plan to organize this kind of concerts in the Library more often, In fact every saturday from now on, one would be able to join us in the Library Classics Live Music Meetings.

Thom Dowd (alias Thomas Coard) was born in Michigan U.S.A. and has been living Switzerland since 1978. He teaches recorder at the Conservatory of Fribourg. Thom studied early music and recorder at Oakland University in Michigan with Lyle Nordstrom before going on to the Musik Akadamie in Basel Switzerland where he studied with Michael Piguet.
After 27 years of teaching Thom started recording renaissance multi-voice music with a computer. This opened the door to new inspiration and the possibility to perform the music that he really loves to a world wide audience. Second Life and the virtual world have created a new way to conceive and to present the music of the renaissance and baroque. The great composers of that age of light shall be reborn in the virtual world where the need for their purity of sound and spirit are greater than at anytime since 1400.

The Grand Orchestra for Christmas Charity = Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy


Lights to the Sky at Slang Life island.

It was a hudge effort of all people of good will. We managed to collect 768 544 L$ alltogether for the sick children in Poland. Following are the results from the top three Islands:

Polska (Centrum Polska / Cooler Club) - 190 262 L$
SlangLife - 180 312 L$
Polskie Radio - 117 777 L$

But I would like to underline that the whole Polish community was engaged in this venture, so I wish to thank every single avatar that contributed to our success. In SlangLife we had many great sponsors and contributors from all over the world as well. One of the well known SL investors contributed his daily income in Second Life to help the kids. I do not mention anyone by name here, because it was not about names, it was about kids. Many great SL musicians, performers, designers did their best to help us. I am extremely happy that I had a chance to be a part of this great undertaking.

The Grand Orchestra still plays in our hearts. Let it play forever... and a day longer!

SL'ang Life Visiting Extropia


Sophrosyne Stenvaag, Cezary Fish, Mallory Beresford, Uzi Boa

Slang Life stuff was invited by Sophrosyne Stenvaag to join the first Saturday Salon of 2008 in Extropia. The meeting packed the house, with well over 40 people in attendance, and a peak concurrency of 39. Salon Spotlight Guests included Cezary Fish, Uzi Boa and Mallory Beresford of SL'ang Life - the first free, printed magazine devoted to Second Life.

Lot of tough questions were asked. The event proved it's importance to both the editors and the readers. It was an enlightening event, and it drew quite large crowds.

It ended with everyone mentally exhausted and ready for the traditonal Salon afterparty - this time with extra beer and zero g dancing!
