Album Notes

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tunes without the words, and never stops at all." Emily Dickinson.

I believe that the idiom of "hoping against hope" may very well apply to this music project. I'm not a pessimist, just someone whose been involved in some rather dark and gloomy research over the years. My faith and hope have indeed been shaken, almost lost. The sum of my research and experience offer me but one conclusion. We, the human race, are about to face our greatest challenge. One that may very well bring us to the border of extinction.

To backtrack a bit, this music project was born out of two disciplines. The obvious being my love for music composition and creating soundscapes. The second is a bit difficult to explain. For the past 12 years, I've worked on developing a skill called remote viewing. What's that? Basically, it's an attention management skill where one acquires patterns of information about a target (person, place, thing or idea) anywhere in space or time. Its origin can be found within the bowels of US intelligence over the past several decades.

My journey with remote viewing has been an interesting one. I've served as a consultant in a variety of fields. On the whole, the work I've been a part of over the years has revealed some pretty grim information about our immediate future. It is in this vain that I now attempt to create a musical score to accompany the range of human emotions felt by all in the months and years ahead.

The numerical value of 5770 is expressed on one of my music compositions. It represents the Hebrew calendar year that begins on Sept 18, 2009 and runs through Sept 8, 2010. It is this particular Hebrew year that has surfaced in remote viewing data (over the last 2 years) as a point in "time" when a significant upheaval occurs in human civilization. Events appear to be that grim. With that said, I do not want this to be a "doom" site per say. My objective was to compose music that I felt scored the attendant emotions of the times ahead.

I hope you find resonance with the music and it assists in offering a sense of peace and strength through the storm. I hope the grace of God shines upon you and gives you rest. I hope your dreams come true. I hope to one day meet all of you ... in this life, or the next. I hope this dark scenario is wrong. I hope ....
