Full Of Fire !

A beyond belief new single from THE KNIFE ! They break their seven year record hiatus with a boiling tune that captures the acid house spirit and tormenting it in panic circles. Sure your blood starts boiling but be careful of the dizzy condition they put you through. Oh and the official video was shot by the ''feminist porn'' director Marit Östberg. The new album '' Shaking The Habitual'' is already available to pre-order and the official release is in April....
Chrisodd will play this and more electronic Swedish delights today/tonight at THE VELVET of course 3-5 pm slt ! Stay tuned !!!!

Dwelling in the State of Being.

The latest issue of the prestigious Second Life magazine Best Of Second Life has an article and interview with M4SK22 Melody who owns the Lumeria art gallery which is located in the sky on the Velvet Sim. I help to manage the gallery and have curated some of the art works there.
The article mentions the Velvet sim and also has some examples of art works by some people who are well known to the Velvet. There are images of paintings by ByneDarkly Cazalet and a centre spread of a set piece photograph of Mallory's surrealist fashion creation, taken by Dammi Quan.

The article is here, it is a broad piece about M4SK's work as an artist and curator in SL and how that flows to and from RL, where his renown is as a painter, musician and film maker.
Here's a link to the article which starts on page 218. Dwelling in the state of being.

Here's an example of  M4SK's musical machinima, which was released in late November 2012 as part of the Classwar Karaoke compilation of underground music and film. I acted in this.
