  • Mesmerica feels uplifting

    The show is designed to literally play with your emotions in an uplifting way. It works. The music immediately puts you into spa mode. The body relaxes as if you are having a hot rock treatment, with a body scrub, and your favorite full body massage.

    The video provides uplifting messages about relaxation, forgiveness, togetherness and they are intermingled with the sounds of gongs that bring back memories of fabulous mediation sessions. Instant relaxation.

    James Hood has perfected his musical genius. He is still able to make you feel your own feelings, like he did back when he played with the Pretenders. Since then he became one of the founding musicians of the world music genre. He perfected his art with a two-decades-plus run as a visionary ambient/electronica composer and performer. His sonic incense “Ceremony” and Pure Ceremony reached #1 on World and New Age charts in US and Canada.  

    Mesamerica is an instant classic that will be celebrated for many years to come. It represents a trend that will certainly swell as more people become aware of the soothing and healing effect it has – literally – on the body by encouraging the release of endorphins, seratonin, and other happy hormones. Mesamerica is there to reboot your body and soul and it has a long lasting effect.

    It was produced by Poseidon Music who report: “The show is now running simultaneously in 12 North American cities, selling out 9/10 shows. 40,000 tickets and counting.”

    And then there is the art and the production of this master piece. The art is world class.

    The most spectacular thing about this experience to me is the art by Tatiana Plakhova. It is mesmerizing on this little video. Just imagine it or watch it in a setting that allows you to see a large dome of into which the video will draw you travel as you experience the cosmic journey with surround sound.

    Tatiana Plakhova describes her art as infographics, which makes sense. She transmits so much more than just a pretty pictures. Her art communicates – it is the art of the future, now.

    “The main idea is to show a new way of “infographic” drawings. Because everything we see is biological, mathematical or geological information. It can also be cultural patterns or any other thing. Complexity Graphics works are based on mathematical simplicity and harmony. I would describe them as infographic abstracts. This mathematical style helps me to illustrate everything from biological cell to the space and meditative worlds. That’s why I admire by math, because it’s everywhere and nowhere”

    We will try to find out more information behind the many amazing people behind this new form of entertainment that is certainly here to stay. Stay tuned!

  • Cha, cha, cha, changes… so timely. Thx David Bowie!

    Ch Ch Ch Changes

    Low Down, ooh, still don’t know what I was waiting for…
    and my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets and
    Everytime I thought I got it made, the taste was not so sweet…
    So I turned myself to face me, but I never caught a glimpse,
    of how the others must see the faker,
    I’m much too fast to take that test.

    Ch Ch Ch Changes turn and face the strange ch ch changes
    Don’t wanna be a richer man
    Ch Ch Ch Changes turn and face the strange ch ch changes
    Just gonna have to be a different man
    time may change me, but I can’t trace time

    Ooh yeah

    I watch the ripples change their size but never leave the stream of warm impermanence
    and so the days float through my eyes, but the days still seem the same
    and these children that you spit on as the try to change their world
    they are immune to your consultations
    they are quite aware of what they are going through

    Ch Ch Ch Changes turn and face the strange ch ch changes
    don’t tell them to grow up and out of it

    Ch Ch Ch Changes turn and face the strange ch ch changes
    you’ve left us up to our neck in it
    Time may change me but you can’t trace time
    strange fascination fascinating me
    Ah, changes are taking the pace I’m going through

    Ch Ch Ch Changes turn and face the strange ch ch changes
    ooh, look out you rock ‘n rollers
    Ch Ch Ch Changes turn and face the strange ch ch changes
    pretty soon you’re gonna get older
    Time may change me, but I can’t trace time.
    I’ve said that time may change me,
    but I can’t trace time.

    David Bowie performs Changes

    Rock ‘n Rollers pretty soon you will get older

    Boomers and Generation X is older now and here we are with global warming, the world in upheaval and a shrinking replacement generation which may have trouble taking care of themselves, their student loans, their kids, and especially the bulging and self-entitled older generation. As David Bowie tried to explain many decades ago:

    “Time may change me, but I can’t trace time. Gonna have to be a different man. We never saw the fakers.”

    Great song and timely lyrics. Families that pull together will make it through the next 50 years. David Bowie called it. And here we are and it will be fine especially for those who stop judging and instead support each other at a local basis.
