Tpenta Vanalten Music In Second Life Pandora Drezelan Reporting…

Pub With No Beer

I watched Tpenta Vanalten’s performance at a great little Australian hotel. ‘The Pub With No Beer’ and got to speak to him about his work and Second Life. Tpenta (Alan in RL) talks about his early days in Second Life and the beginning of his musical career:



‘I had my fifth rez day last December. I came to Second Life initially I think out of curiosity. I made a number of friends at a club called Odds & Ends. It didn't take me long to figure out that without Linden dollars it was going to be rough’

‘Odds & Ends had "dance pads" which let you "earn" Lindens but it really was a slow way to earn money. I hosted events at a club for a while before hearing about live music in Second Life.’



‘I remember very clearly the first time I played, just not quite when. It was probably about a year after I started.’

‘One of the highlight music events of the week used to be Freestar Bay. It would start around 7pm on Saturday evening and run 30 minutes sets of booked artists until midnight and then an open mic while there were folks who wanted to play.’


‘Autumnfoxx would be there for the whole event. Organizing the performers onto the stage, getting streams right etc for the whole time. I decided to have a go at the open mic. Rosedrop (Rusty) Rust brought me out to Pannies and let me test my setup on his stream before jumping up at FSB, but my first real gig in Second Life was at the open mic in Freestar Bay.’
