Tonight, as I listened to your 137 composition, I was ooooh'd and ahhhhhh'd, and omg'd by so many of your remixes. Every time I listen there is yet another realization. This one, however, is not new. Tonights session was a crescendo...like FIREWORKS. I love fireworks...lol i was left wanting more and cheered for more as I applauded you SL and RL. I stood up from my chair saying "OMG! OMG! OMG! Everyone present felt your energy. Therein lies yet another of your gifts. Your ability to transmit what you feel, through your music and to those of us who are listening. Thank you for sharing and bringing us into your world of music.
Music is the same in all languages, and nothing brings people together like music!!! This DJ Connect this many peoples!! He is the BEST of THE BEST!!! BRAVO Maestro!! Hooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
This Session is the "Decrescendo" path, taged [SL] 136 this session represent 100 songs remixed live in 4h~. I will keep the play list for Internal Use.
Thank you Very much for listening, we was 100~ listeners, was a great party i had fun and was glad to share this 48h Set Composion work in this live session.
Nelson you music fills our souls and world. We love you no matter where you are...rl, club, sim...it makes no difference. It's all about the music, You create the universe of Icemoon! Of course having your own sim would take our SL experience to new heights and I can imagine what this world would be like as it already exists in my head! As you know, a sim is an expensive undertaking and requires constant energy to run and manage. Anything is possible with the right vision and plan. Whatever you choose to commit to, I am with you...just don't work me too hard!

I think it is a great idea for you to be able to expand not just into a club but into a sim or region. I support both ideas, I know you can bring in the people to help support the overall cost of having a Icemoon region. If you decide to have a few plots available for residental , I would love to own/rent from you to help pay for such said cost...and the bonus for me would be to have DJ Icemoon's tunes in my own sl home 24/7. Woot that would be simply awsome!!
I guess ultimately it all comes down to cost , and depends on your Vision
(what you want to build and present) and how many Prims you will need , or do you even need to do this?
Okay so first of All IF You can afford it , Buying Land is a wonderful thing to do in SL and especially if you have a set purpose for that Land. In fact Nelson I have always wondered why you havent invested in a Home Base, but this is up to you.
The Notion(idea) of Ownership is a strange and interesting thing, You do not need Land To own a Social Space and my dear DJ you definately command a Huge Social Space.
The impact of your Muisc is Immense and your Art is Pure Genius, and i knew this in my soul when i first found the Artsfacta After Club Space. I thought , this Music is different form what is usually Churned out in the hundreds of Clubs by Chop happy DJ;s who just dont know any better or by the kareoke House Jockeys who are only playing what i can already hear on the Radio Now im not putting them down so much as saying, That i would prefer to listen to your Magic, IceMoon, than listen to the many same same clones out there,
Im saying all this because It really doesnt matter where you are, or what club you are at or if you have land or not, because your Success is already assured. You own the hearts of those who hear and love you, and This is All you need , Like the Church it is not the Building but Its the people and Community.
Now i think you may know this already, You need a Home Base , place to Groove in and now You need to move on to Showing us your Universe, So yes is my answer Please do. As your Fan i will Always bring you support, and if you have any statistics about youtr fans or can measure the Traffic that you get you will see that You Will be able to have a Club that will bring in Clients and support in the way of Lindens to offset costs, You may also decide to include shop rentals or a residential section to a Sim to help bring in revenue(LIndens), You dont have the 'middle man' to worry about, You ARE the product so you dont have to pay anyone to sell you, unless you have advertising consultants.
A homestead Sim will cost much less than a region and has only 3750 Prims, compared to 15,000 Prims in the Region, A Homestead SIM =appox 30-40 US$ per week and an Estate -FULL Region approx 80-90$US per week , also on the mainland its a bit cheaper than that but i hear it has more Lag ...You know all this but, Having a region gives you enough Prims to have shops and residences and Create The most amazing CLUB , If you choose a Homestead this would still be okay, you just will need to create something less extravagant,
Do You Know the movie 'Field of Dreams' ? - There is a Quote from the Movie that I Love
The Movie is about a man, plagued and with past failures and haunted by a lack of confidence because of that, He hears this message over and over and the story evolves when he defeats his demons and believes in Himself and takes a Positive Leap of Faith and builds what he needs to build. ~~~ different from you but an inspiring Quote this is the message he hears
" If you build it , He will come, "
meaning if you have Faith enough to follow your dreams and invest in them, (Destiny) The people will Follow and supports you and make it All complete and worthwhile. I have no doubt whatsoever that you WILL Succeed.
hahah if you dont then you have had a lot of enjoyment trying.
I propose that you could link in with Music Shops and equipment stores and sell their products in you shops or have this type of shop on your SIm or sell advertising space on your SIM either selling the space or ask them to sponsor your Venue and in turn you use their products or advertise them in your SIm/club/shops approach Big SL companies to do this, It may take some time but if you are successful they will also be successful.
Also You could sell your Fans a share in your SIM, in other words they sponsor you and you help them in some way, promote their shops or their talent, appear at their functions, etc etc there are ways and they could have some space on the sim, just small space like advertising space. Or a part of Future Profits. If money is not given from fans, they may be invited to support you in other ways, their talents, they can advertise, they can work as staff for you for Love not Lindens, Many ways.
You see ultimately if your SIM becomes well known and successful on the business side you will attract lots of Traffic and people will want to be a part of it, this will translate to offline both in money and fame.
Nelson I know the Lindens dont mean as much to you as the Music does, yet This will be a Great way to get yourself and your Music Known , All these social connections will Help. These are just some thoughts on the necessary practical and business side.
keeping this uppermost in your mind - " IF YOU BUILT IT, THEY WILL COME "
Thank you and All the Best,
and put my name down on the list, : ) i can't wait to see it happen,
Hey Alien :o)
I totally support your having a sim and a club. You already know the mechanics of managing/operating a sim. You also were successful in implementing a plan to increase the flow of traffic to that sim. I have personally seen the structure of your implementation and see nothing but success coming from your next step; which is the realization of your vision. I am totally on board with the Club AND Sim Idea. There's where my opinion lies. :o)
That is such a nice mix!!!!! New Jersey Deep '08. The synthesizer with the drums is just...It IS deep! It makes you close your eyes and sway back and forth to the music...What an awesome groove. For me, there is always one track that is mind-exploding...and unexpected. Well on 95 there were many, but this is that track for me. Fifty-five minutes into the session does not come soon enough, although every mix is so geniusly put together and molded into the work you call 134. Thank you...can never say it enough :o)
