ABOUT EARTHDANCE

"Give peace a dance!"

THE EARTHDANCE MISSION is to promote peace by joining participants worldwide in a synchronized PRAYER FOR PEACE and to SUPPORT HUMANITARIAN CAUSES through the global language of music and dance.

On September 26, 2009, nearly half a million world citizens in over 60 countries will join together for the world’s largest synchronized music and dance festival for peace. The defining moment of each Earthdance event is a synchronized link-up, (4pm SLT) when every event around the world plays a specially produced song called "The Prayer for Peace" at exactly the same time.

"I think global events are a really hopeful sign. When something happens on one side of the planet, it naturally effects the other side. Afterall, we all share the same blue planet." -His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in conversation with Earthdance founder Chris Deckker (Dharamsala)

I am mentioning this because we are playing my piece called "Ritual" there - with the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse.
The Earthdance Festival is an all-day affair, (SLT time, which is Pacific Time - California); the AOM plays at 11 AM SLT.

Acoustic music

As I organize my acoustic music into volumes, I have again started writing a few short pieces, but I find it difficult to finish anything. It might be that I need a goal in order to do this; for example, I finished a set of vocal pieces for Colin Bell on his Fibonacci poetry. There was a goal with this set, certainly. The words of the poem gave me the ideas to create a specific pattern. However, I would like to write a piece for flute and piano, but I cannot make it work - at least, not yet. Writing electronic pieces I can do.

Music books so far

So, how far am I now with my music book collection? This month I finished up my clarinet book. It's not possible (really) to organize chronologically, so it is done by ensemble size. Like this: solo clarinet. clarinet and another instrument. clarinet and string quartet clarinet and wind ensemble. Some of these pieces were written pre- computer-music-software days; I had to type these pieces in. Specifically, the piece for solo clarinet. Next month, I release my book of songs, and then my works for guitar.
