who can come to Ionic Spell. We constantly receive offers of singers who want to have a show at Ionic Spell, but we do not accept backing tracks...that is not what we want to offer. There are already many venues where you can find those kind of events. We like to bring musicians from real life too. We encourage them to come in and try the experience of playing live. Often, the Ionic Spell is a training ground for newbies! We just ask that the live music be something that is original. There are already many singers and fake bands around Second Life. It may sound pretentious, but after 3 years playing live as a band with Engrama, Pupito and I are tired of karaoke and tribute CD bands. Second Life is an amazing medium, and we need better musicians here. SC: How are Dream Seekers Estates, the owners of the sim, involved in supporting and fostering the arts and music community? LA: Dream Seeker Estates are the sponsors of the Ionic Spell collective. They support art and music by giving us the whole sim sponsored by them. Pupito Helstein and I, we are the owners, designers and managers of the sim.
