Music of the Baroque

Posted on by

Today, Wednes­day, March 9th, we explore the music of the Baroque era. We’ll be includ­ing the work of a wide range of com­posers.

Then at 12 noon and 4pm Pacif­ic / 8pm or mid­night UK time, there’s anoth­er chance to hear the lat­est episode of “Where Have You Been?”, our show on places to vis­it and things to do around the Sec­ond Life Grid, broad­cast every Wednes­day and Sat­ur­day.

Some­times you just want to get out and see some­thing new or dif­fer­ent. This time, we are vis­it­ing a small venue on the edge of a con­ti­nent that is just per­fect for that sort of thing:  The Decks, owned by Jack Vin­cent. Details are here.

And every four hours from 4am Pacific/noon in the UK, tune in for “The Engines of Our Inge­nu­ity”, from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Hous­ton, about the machines that make our civ­i­liza­tion run and the peo­ple whose inge­nu­ity cre­at­ed them.

Tarot @ Teatime Episode 26: Cards of Gateway & Transition — Now On Mixcloud

Posted on by

This is the sec­ond of our live pre­sen­ta­tions from Octo­ber 2021 by the hosts of our orig­i­nal series: “Tarot @ Teatime”, air­ing Thurs­days and Sun­days at noon and 4pm Pacif­ic Time/SLT, 8pm and mid­night in the UK. This pro­gramme was orig­i­nal­ly pre­sent­ed live and on-the-air in Octo­ber as part of the 2021 Haunt­ed Hol­low. We’ve also made avail­able the spe­cial edi­tion of “Where Have You Been?” which was broad­cast in the run-up to Mar­di Gras. Missed any episodes? Catch them on our Mix­Cloud feed!

Episode 26: Cards of Gate­way & Tran­si­tion
In this episode, we talk about sev­er­al cards in the Tarot that offer us a gate­way from where we are to some­where else… per­haps a place we’d like to be. Oth­er cards imply a tran­si­tion from one way of per­ceiv­ing our world and our expe­ri­ences to anoth­er; a change in con­scious­ness; a real­iza­tion.

MOON OVER MOROCCO

Once in a far away land there exist­ed a knowl­edge of nat­ur­al mag­ic that has been lost to mod­ern man. Jack Flan­ders treks to Moroc­co, believ­ing that in this prim­i­tive coun­try, where mag­ic remains an inte­gral part of dai­ly life, he may find this knowl­edge.

Jack has stepped out of mod­ern day Moroc­co and into the realm where the knowl­edge of mag­ic is a req­ui­site sur­vival skill. Here’s a cou­ple of tastes of this week’s episode…
