SpaceJunky, the RL and SL band featured on CNN broadcasts for marketing their music in SL, held an event January 26, 2008. How did the group decide SL was the place to promote? Leader, Shakti Cianci said, “I was frustrated with the music industry and how to release my album with the band. I went to Tibet and I asked an oracle whether Space Junky had a chance of being heard by the world. He said YES. I came back [home] and was researching an ancient tibetan symbol. I kept seeing this flying monks blog, and finally looked at it and saw SL. (grins) It was about monks on Drak Yerpa, which is the sacred mountain in Tibet that I had just come from. So I came in [to SL] and went to that mountain. It was about as cosmic as you could get! The monks were rebuilding the temples that were destroyed by the government of China and they saw SL as a way to have them again.” SpaceJunky’s frustration with Real Life was solved by Second Life. Maybe the same will happen for Tibet. If the oracle asks Shakti if there’s a chance, she’ll probably say yes! Jim Sella for iReports. |
