This weekend “The Liberta Bullring Music Festival” celebrates the
love for music and the freedom it bestows on each soul. The rhythm we hear when
a string or a drum is played in periodic intervals; the feeling to move and
groove when we hear a beat; the peace that is interpreted in every note is the
result of music.

Rejoicing the love for music, we have partied since our noob days
in Second Life. A one of a kind festival hits the grid to celebrate the best
music ever. A three day event would be taking the grid by storm, the Liberta
Music Festival will be held this weekend. The kick off of the pre-opening will
begin at 3:45 pm on Friday, 21st August, 2015 with two DJs mixing
live music followed by fireworks and DJ Bully (Bully Trisk) commencing the
start of the music festival at 6:00 pm SLT, the same day. I had the opportunity
to interview Bully Trisk. Here are a few words from the person who consolidated
a good team to host a big event.
Debby
Sharma: Please tell us about yourself.
Bully
Trisk (Bully67): I’m just a guy who enjoys Second Life and all that it has to
offer. I especially love how it’s a remarkable platform to connect with others
around the world, who you can share your passions with and learn from.
Debby Sharma: What was your motivation to host a Music festival?
Bully
Trisk (Bully67): Music itself has been a very big part of my life since I can
remember. I have seen many examples, in first and second lives, how music has
the ability to easily connect people who would otherwise have very little in
common. It’s always been the goal of my SL family to engage with that process.
It was a natural next step in our combined journey to invite all whom may wish
to attend, the chance to see, touch, feel and taste the magic we’ve experienced
through the appreciation of the diversity music offers.
Debby Sharma: We know “Liberta” has come from the Latin word
meaning freedom. What is the significance of this name, “Liberta Bullring Music
Festival” to you?
Bully
Trisk (Bully67): Freedom is a concept that I believe is either sought after or
enjoyed all around the world. Especially lately with everything that is
happening, we felt that offering a reminder to all that no matter what our
life’s circumstance are, or the myriad of challenges we face in our daily
lives, that music and expression through music can connect and free us all from
the limitations we sometimes feel shackled by. Even if it’s just a song in our
hearts that we silently carry with ourselves, there is sense that we have the
power to individually and collectively experience Liberty.

Debby Sharma: What are the best things about your team? Are there
any special moments with them that you would remember for life?
Bully Trisk
(Bully67): The best thing about my team is that I have been blessed to have
them on this project. They are very dear to me, and each person is tremendously
talented and determined, having strengths in areas that sometimes I do not.
Their ability to work as a team for the first time on a major project and do it
without ego or for the purposes of self-aggrandizement is humbling and
inspirational. Each day honestly has been a whirlwind of excitement and
successes, fun and hearty laughs that I will never forget.

Debby Sharma: What kind of music would we be expecting during the
festival and who are performing?
Bully
Trisk (Bully67): With only a few exceptions, the music experienced throughout
the festival will be mixed live on stage by some of the best DJ’s from around
the globe. We’re focusing on Electronic dance music, but to say that is a genre
is almost a misnomer. Because there are hundreds of sub genres in EDM and EBM,
it is sure to be an exhibition in diversity, with something for everyone.
Debby Sharma: What would you like to tell your sponsors,
supporters and fans?
Bully
Trisk (Bully67): To my Sponsors, Lick Sim Design and Something Estates, I wish
to express my sincere gratitude for believing in us enough to partner with us
and make this happen. They are very wonderful and amazing brands, run by some
extremely incredible people. To my supporters within the family and those
others around me, I wish to simply say I love you truly, thank you for being
there always and adding your light to my life. And finally to my fans…. Thanks
Mom!!! (Smiles)

Debby Sharma: Do you have any plans to extend this festival to a
yearly event? Or do we expect any new kind of festivals in near future?
Bully
Trisk (Bully67): I think it’s safe to say there are some projects already on
the table for the future, but right now I’m staying wholly focused on today
because it’s where the magic happens. Thank you so much for asking such great
questions and I hope to see you and your amazing team at SL Enquirer here at
this amazing event!
