Hi. My name is Allister Westland in Second Life, a virtual world that has a growing and strong music community of performers, artists and supporters. My real name is Al and I hail from Toronto, Canada. I have been playing music since I was about 4 years old. I write, perform and record all my own material as well as any backing tracks I use to perform alongside. Some people call the use of backing tracks cheating, but since I only have one set of hands I prefer to call it creative assistance since I perform ALL of the parts you hear. Just not all at the same time. I recently released my first project CD called "Wings" in virtual format within the Second Life environment . If you haven't been in Second Life you owe it to yourself to check it out. It is an amazing new opportunity for musicians of all genres and abilities and there is such a huge amount of talent to be found there at any given time at a number of virtual venues. I hope to see you there and I hope you enjoy the music as much as I do.
