What does musician-actor mean?​

The journey that started with 22 musician-actors in total on August 28, 2022, has evolved and grown exponentially, reaching a total of over 100 individuals today. Musician-actors are the orchestra members who make up the SL ISO. These individuals, whether they are musicians in real life or not, take on the role of a musician within the SL ISO symphony orchestra, thus embodying both a virtual musician and actor identity. Their presence is the main reason for the existence of this project.

How does SL ISO work?​

The infinite power of dreaming and imagining offered by Second Life is the main idea of this project. Every moment spent in Second Life is like a visual feast, a library visit where knowledge and intelligence are shared from one person to another, and most importantly, a collection of emotions where happiness and pleasure, the indispensable reasons for the existence of the soul, can be experienced. From this point, the goal of SL ISO is to contribute to the experience in Second Life by providing the feeling of stage performance and being a musician, regardless of whether one is a musician in Real Life.

​

• SL ISO was established with over than 100 musician-actors, 1 artistic director, 9 stage coordinators, 2 supervisors, and 1 conductor.

​

• Not only a visual feast, also presents live music with Second Life's talented live musicians.

​

• Each concert is performed during 1 hour.

​​

• Each concert contains 45-50 musician-actors on stage.

​

• All musician-actors and staff take place at the stage 45 minutes before the concert.

​

• The concert dates and times are announced to musician-actors via "Concert Script" by a notification in Second Life Musician-Actor Group, Discord Server, and in-world IM by stage coordinators.​​

​​

• All musician-actors who fill application form to join SL ISO are listed in excel spread-sheet with instrument choice, attendance status and stage coordinator name.

​​

• New members are contacted and given an orientation about the progress by their stage coordinators.
