Hello OpenSim,

Today we mourn the loss of a truly wonderful live performer, Beccca Baxton. Her music, her spirit, and her love for sharing joy touched everyone around her. She adored dressing up, stepping into the spotlight, and giving people the gift of her voice wherever she went.

Becca was a strong, loving soul—full of warmth, creativity, and generosity. She left us far too young, passing away early this morning, and the ache of that loss is felt deeply across our community.

My prayers go out to her family, her friends, and to everyone in OpenSim and beyond who had the privilege of knowing her. Hold her close in your heart so her spirit, her music, and her light can continue to live on through us.

The last Live Performer for this years winterfest will be The Dave King Experience Live Open Air Concert Live at the Winterfest Community Build region starting at 11:00am.

Celebrate WinterFest with the Country boy himself at The Dave King Experience, Open Air Concert bringing live country music to the WinterFest Community Build! Enjoy heartfelt vocals, lively rhythms, and festive energy that will make this WinterFest performance unforgettable.

I wish you all a joyful holiday season filled with health, peace, and love — and the same heartfelt wishes for the coming New Year.

And a little note of anticipation: Cloudshead Worldheart 2 will reopen its gates at the end of January. The cloud heads and elves are already busy rebuilding and reshaping, preparing a magical space for you to return to.

Warm regards
Lampi

Ich wünsche euch von Herzen ein frohes Fest sowie Gesundheit, Frieden und Liebe – und all das auch für das kommende neue Jahr.

Außerdem eine kleine Vorfreude zum Schluss: Cloudshead Worldheart 2 öffnet Ende Januar wieder seine Pforten. Die Wolkenköpfe und Elfen sind bereits fleißig am Umbauen und Gestalten, damit euch bald wieder eine besondere, zauberhafte Welt erwartet.

Herzliche Grüße

Voivod – Die Anfänge einer kosmischen Reise

In den kalten Wintern Québecs, genauer gesagt in der kleinen Stadt Jonquière, die heute Teil von Saguenay ist,
entstand Anfang der 1980er Jahre eine Band, die die Grenzen des Heavy Metals sprengen sollte.
Voivod, benannt nach einem fiktiven vampirähnlichen Wesen aus der Fantasie ihres Schlagzeugers,
begann als ein Quartett junger Musiker, die von der rauen Energie des Punks und der epischen Weite des Progressive Rocks fasziniert waren...
