Several months ago, I made my first Second Life Machinima, " I'm a Pianist In Second Life " after discovering Robbie Dingo 's instruments. (I I have a flute, cello, and grand piano.) I was little afraid that I might end up not only wasting time making music videos in Second Life, but actually composing a theme song. So, I stayed away. And, now Rikomatic has to go and create this. and I'm starting to get inspired. This video is a little tour of Information Island.
