Tonight Live Maxwell Graf, Stratus MacTavish, Glyph Graves

This Sunday 6pm slt on Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe two  amazing creators and Music.

Maxwell Graf from the incredible Sim Rustica talks about his controversial decision to delete his Sim Lagnmoor, in response to Linden Lab’s inaction on content theft. Maxwell Graf is the designer and builder of Rustica, his sims Lagnmoor and Rustica were all that remained of his 3 sims that he has been deleting one by one. Two weeks ago he deleted Lagnmoor. Lagnmoor held examples of his amazing fairytale style houses and a theatre that had views right across the sea to his Castle of Rustica. It was also where Tonight Live and Live n Kickin were filmed some time back. The Theatre on Lagnmoor was custom created for Tonight Live and stayed up long after the show. The Lagnmoor sim was simply stunning and up there in quality with many of the most renown sim designs ever seen in Second Life. So the Second Life community reacted with understandable shock and dismay when Maxwell announced he was going to delete the sim in response to constant content theft and Linden Lab’s seemingly unwillingness to ban the person who was proven to have been stealing Maxwell’s designs and selling them openly and brazenly in his store. Maxwell will be telling us the story behind the deletion which was movingly highlighted recently on another Treet.tv show Designing Worlds and filmed by Treet.tv.

We also meet and hear Second Life Musician Stratus MacTavish..don’t you just love that name! brings forth images of Kilts and bagpipes…but Stratus is far from that. He is a huge fan of Damien Rice, Counting Crows, Leonard Cohen, Incubus, Neil Young, James Taylor, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, John Mayer… to name a few, so no trad Scottish music there…I “found” Stratus at the SLB7 celebration just happened upon his gig and was so taken with his great sound I invited him on the show. Im sure you will be impressed with his lovely voice and performance. (Actually I might request a kilt…there’s nothing sexier than a man in a Kilt! don’t you agree girls…and ummm some guys?)

Glyph Graves has a weird mind…..he does! Wow how did he come up with some of these things!..Glyph is an Aussie Artist, who has created some of the most innovative interactive pieces of Art ever seen in Second Life. He is taking the “Not Possible In Real Life” (Bettina Tizzy’s term) to extream. His “sculptures” if one can call them that, move when you get near them, they change form, they play music, they respond to IM’s they truly are interactive. But none of it is random, there is deep meaning in all of it…Glyph’s background in real life as a Biologist informs his work hugely, you can see it in his Snails, his jellyfish..(he calls them by their scientific names of course) and other life forms in this latest exhibit.  For someone who does not claim to be an artist in real life, he has embraced all of what virtual reality is with arms wide open! Right now Glyph has an exhibit on an IBM sponsored Sim, and if you spend time there you will discover all sorts of wonderfully suprising and beautifull experiences. Glyph will be bringing some of his morphing works into the studio for us to play with and playing with his work is what he enjoys. Can’t Wait!
