Bonjour.
Je suis de retour sur osw.
Lors de mes dernières rencontres, j'ai été ravi de constater qu'il y avait un grand nombre de nouveaux résidents francophones.
Certains ont besoin d'aide pour apprendre les bases du build avec les primitives.
Je suggère de fixer un moment pour échanger des astuces et des conseils afin de tirer le meilleur parti des fonctionnalités d'Opensim.
Cordialement.
Discutons et planifions le moment idéal pour arranger tout le monde.

UPDATE:
I have a sponsor who will cover the cost of the stream and will do the broadcast of the soundscape from her computer. However, I'm researching the possibility that the broadcasting can be done from my Google Drive account. Anyone know anything about that? The file will be about 13,130 kb.

Also, I managed to get the uploaded song to fade out at the end, as it oughta, I still need to do more work on the song, but this is how it now sounds, fade out and all. https://www.bandlab.com/post/51f23c9d-8b5b-ef11-991a-6045b...

Thanks to all who have offered help, advice, ideas, encouragement and such. I'll be asking the sponsor of the stream if she wants to be acknowledged, and how.
---------------------------------------------------------------

OLD NEWS
I need help streaming music for a project by Cherry Manga. My 10 minute long soundscape will run on repeat for a month, 24/7, starting on September 29th.

Here are two options I’ve considered for how to stream
1. Ideally, I would store the music on the streaming service server and have the song set up to repeat.
2. Alternatively, I would use Mixx to make a live broadcasting connection to a streaming service.

Options for getting a streaming service.
3. Ideally, I would use a stream somebody has set-up already.
4. Or I rent the service, with the $ help from anyone who wants to contribute to the exhibit.

Let me know if you can help.

Maldrul is in a rock and roll type of mood tonight. So we are having an impromptu party at On The Rocks. Pop on down to the beach and lets rock!! Bring your request and let's get this party started!

*** FLORA - AUGUST 14th 2024 NEW RELEASE***
GIANT SEQUOIA TREES PACK (Sequoiadendron giganteum), from Californian forests to your SIM!
AVAILABLE AT FOREST AREA, BOX 01!
01 prim mesh trees - 03 different models - Animated smooth leaves.. and seasonal textures included!
And another heads up. something I`m going to do from now on,I will be offering as well "suggestions" like a big cluster of trees, different sizes and rotations, for both flat area or slopes. I noticed many here rez trees and shift copy others and it doens`t look good (looks like Clones from Starwars lolol).I bet many will enjoy that idea.

"Obeisance" is a striking sculpture that symbolizes the delicate balance between reverence and connection. The fluid, intertwined forms suggest a deep, almost ritualistic act of respect, as if two entities are bowing to one another in mutual acknowledgment. The bold curves and flowing lines evoke a sense of movement, capturing the essence of a moment frozen in time.

Thank you Marianna for this beautiful gift to the Art Gallery. Welcome to the Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery family. I can't thank you enough for this thoughtful gift. I love it!!

We had a third performer scheduled, but they can’t make it. If anyone is interested in filling that slot, either as a singer or DJ, please reach out to me.

Also opening is a collaborative exhibit by visual artist Cherry Manga and audio artist Nico Kalani on the Special Projects region, connected to the gallery. You can walk over or take a raft to explore their work.

We encourage everyone to participate in this exhibit and future ones. I can’t wait to see what you’ve created! Thank you for being part of this journey.

Love, Light, and Big Hugs!

I had this townhouse out at the mall and did not realize I had forgotten to put a sales box with it. Today I made that discovery and well, color me embarrassed. If anybody tried to get this beautiful townhouse and could not, you will now be able to get it free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy it and that it will enhance your region with another original build by me. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Last night, I was consumed by a dark dream. I found myself in a dreamscape of a desert plateau, unsure how I arrived.

I was confronted by swirling fog and spirits, as well as a dark figure with a glowing orb. Initially, I was filled with trepidation and the beginnings of true fear; but in the back of my extradimensional consciousness, I sensed that the figure offered not fear. Instead, it was an invitation to a dark and fantastic journey, should I have the courage to embark on it.

I gazed about me and saw a pale horse with a rider. I saw three other horseman, poised above me. Were these the four horsemen I read about in other spiritual guides, harbingers of a coming Apocalypse?

My deeper instincts told me "no" - these horsemen were pleasure, pain, ecstasy. The pale horse was la petit mort, a small death to be sure, but one from which I would resurrect.

This is not the Apocalypse we know of, but one of social norms and constructs and other inhibitions.

Shall I resist this journey?
