About Sunvibes
Sunvibes is a creative project that began in 2009, born from a passion for teaching, building, and sharing in virtual worlds.
Over the years it has been a music club, a building school, and a hub for free resources in Second Life and Opensim — always carrying the same spirit: exploring creativity, learning, and world music, with a special love for India and Africa.
Frequent Asked Questions
What is Sunvibes
Sunvibes is a long-running creative project in virtual worlds that blends music, learning, and community. It began in 2009 in Second Life under the name OpenBuilding and has since evolved into many forms — from a building school and music club to cultural sims and free resource hubs in both Second Life and Opensim. At its core, Sunvibes is about exploring creativity in all its forms, with a strong love for world music (especially from India and Africa), as well as Linux, open-source software, and open concepts that encourage sharing, freedom, and collaboration.
How did Sunvibes start?
Sunvibes began in 2009, growing out of my early work teaching basic building in Second Life under the name OpenBuilding. What started as a small teaching project quickly expanded into a broader journey of creativity. While its forms have changed over time — from building classes to music venues and cultural sims — the core mission has always remained the same: to explore creativity, learning, and world music, with a special love for India and Africa.
