Welcome to Cat's Art MusikCircus

Cat Boucher built the first circus in Second Life many years ago and she has been bringing live music to the virtual world for all that time.

Cat has a taste in music that leads to non-mainstream performances that push music out as far as artists can take it.  Highly specific to her vision is that artists should be free to take their music wherever they like, without any constraints.

Expect the unusual at the Cat's Art MusikCircus as where else can you climb onto a trapeze over the stage while the performer is making music below.  There are many circus attractions and the audience is always invited to try them.

A very big part of the vision of the MusikCircus venue is providing support for artists who might not otherwise receive it as they typically do not do many cover songs or use commercial backing tracks for their music.  The artists at the MusikCircus perform live in the truest sense of the word.


Tips:

The fastest way to find any performer is to use the Index tab at the top.  It will make a list and you can pick from within it.

Each page is limited to two articles but it may be better with a single article per page as the ones for performers will almost certainly expand with whatever resources they may have put online (e.g. videos, audio files, etc).  This method has merit as people will likely find the artist in whom they're interested by going to the Index or the Blog Archive list in the sidebar.

The objective is to make information about the performers as fast and approachable as possible because the hope is this may help land them some gigs.

Agustin Braham



Agustin Braham has a smooth and relaxed style of singing that you will find quite captivating.  Who knows, maybe he is wound up tighter than a cheap watch inside but I very much doubt it as there's a compelling calm in his voice.  Agustin doesn't do any grandstanding with his guitar but every so often he will do a few runs around the neck to show you he knows how to play it.  He delivers a highly professional performance and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Very much the focus of Agustin's set is the content of the lyrics of his songs but I can't well report on that as yet as I haven't fully grabbed it.  What I know for sure is that the content is there and it is worth reaching to discover the depth of it.  I'm sure Agustin will be back again next week and I'll report more fully on his set as it wouldn't be fair to write on that prematurely.  I'm sure I heard 'dinosaurs and ice cream' and I have GOT to understand what that meant.
