I'd like to invite those interested in building, architecture, textures and coming of age in SL to check out the Symphonic Notes blog.
http://symphonicnotes.wordpress.com
Symphonic Notes features articles and resource reviews for new builders as well as more seasoned ones and will focus its story line on the Symphony sim created by architect and builder Ando Joubert. Ando has done the builds for Evie's Closet, Kouse's Sanctum and the Material Squirrel sim, among others. Upcoming blog entries will include product reviews, descriptions of unique and unusual builds, thought pieces on building in Second Life, links to free resources, and help for those new to building.
Residents are also invited to visit the Symphony sim, a well-integrated sim that includes a riding trail, lodge, beach, coral reef, lighthouse, library, art gallery (Hopper House: the current exhibition about to open is "Les Fleurs" in honor of spring), Japanese bath house, meditation space, waterfall, mill house and all manner of wildlife. Soon . . . a concert venue. Symphony also changes with the seasons. Visitors are most welcome. Come experience the harmony of Symphony for yourself.
