Planning a video project

Planning a video project

I hope you are well and staying healthy.

As the world is going through waves of crises, I have felt the urgency to accelerate the work on my music and particularly my next album for ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.  There is much to be done to heal and unite our divided society, and to build a just, united and progressive world in its stead.

For me personally, I feel that I can best contribute to this process by setting to music the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in a manner that uplifts and inspires the listener.

I recently connected with a talented filmmaker and would love to hire her to make a video to accompany a prayer for detachment revealed by Bahá’u’lláh.  In addition to being excellent at her craft, this filmmaker also has access to beautiful photography and video footage from the Bahá’í Holy Places that I would love to incorporate.

As you may know, I recently started a Patreon page to fund these sorts of projects – videos and music that is shared for free and which can be used for Feasts, Holy Days and devotionals.

At the moment I have 26 Patrons supporting my music and in order to create a new video my goal is to reach 50. Once I am able to approach that goal I plan to hire this talented videographer to make a beautiful video for the prayer for detachment.

Regardless of whether you are abIe to support financially via Patreon, I am most grateful for your spiritual companionship on this path of service to humanity as together we strive to make the world a better place!

Just over a month ago I posted a video explaining more about what Patreon is. Click here to read/watch the post.

 

I just released a spontaneous instrumental piano piece titled ‘Illumined Youth’. I composed it for a young friend who departed this world too soon. On the day he passed I felt moved to sit at the piano and compose a piece for him.  A melody came to me on the spot as I thought of his beautiful qualities, and I know my fingers were guided and the music was inspired.  The song is available on my Patreon page.
