It is with great excitement that this new website is presented. Its purpose is a source of communication that will not be censored. It will hopefully bring insight into the thoughts and common interests of all whom wish to be heard.

As we go forward with this collection of works that have been close to my heart for some years, I am left with a sense of liberation - not only for myself but for the dear friends and co- composers that have clearly bared their souls in these included works.

While exploring the headings you will find links to their current sites and ongoing creative situations.

For the last four months I have been busy creating my own record label, Gerrard Records. I will be providing opportunities to other artists to be realized through a new conduit of musically exciting, fresh and yet to be recognized artists.

The incentive behind this new direction is one of maintaining ways for unknown artists to be heard.

When Brendan and I arrived in London with nothing but our dreams and four pieces of recorded works, we possessed a vision that through our soulful commitment, could bring life to all that appeared to lay dormant in a human sensibility. It was our intention to share messages, often abstract, directly to the human heart.

Our strength was housed and nurtured by a desire to inspire others to realize their true potential. Not only for their own creative interests, but to unlock mutual connective fiber and responsibility to Natures fragile inhabitants. From this vision we have never faltered, and we invite those who care not to falter from it.

The time has come now to provide a platform to encourage others with similar interests to obtain visibility, a way to be heard and make their own unique difference, to love absolutely expecting nothing back. It has been said that you are not measured by how much you love but by how much we are loved.

On my site you will find a heading, 'To Those Who Care'. Here you will find direct links to sites that I believe deserve our immediate attention; sites that are not for the faint hearted, but if we are to stand by our beliefs we can bring sanity and protection to the things we value. We must face the harsh realities that desperately cry out for our voices and actions.

It is my intention to provide a page where we can maintain insight, brain-storm and come up with realistic solutions regarding the safety of our children, animals, forests and oceans.

A friend, Josiah Brooks, and I put a video together called 'The Serpent and the Dove'. I am aware that this could be described as something that was made in the Czech Republic in the 1970 (that didn't win any awards). In its raw animation form, it is a glimpse into a Paradise Lost. It is a message to all who seek harmony in a world that has clearly been violated by human nature.

I chose to deliver this message through animation form so that it might be received by a young audience. If we are going to change anything their thoughts and goals are pivotal. Lets continue to encourage each other and hold very tightly onto the thread that binds the pure of heart, as hope and reverence are still attainable. Lets unite and flatly refuse to give up,

Stay Strong Special Ones
