The initial idea was the composition of a song that could celebrate the meeting of many nice people from many places from world.
The first artist invited was the awesome Nigel Hardy, UK, who introduced us to the marvelous voice of Anne Cozean, USA. And one by one, from each part of the planet, wonderful musicians and persons joined us, totalizing 24 names involved in this production.
To deal with a big diversity of artists and styles, mixing and producing them, always with the target of creating a colorful harmony of sounds, something constructive, could not have been the easiest of tasks, but certainly it was one of the most pleasant for us.
We hope you all enjoy it!

I've worked with Nigel Hardy on a couple of pieces, and have come to trust his recommendations regarding "Good Musicians."
So when he sent me a rough idea that he, Zozimo, and Adrianne were developing, I was all ears.
From emails between these two men, I read from Zozimo: "if the singer could use as a theme something about collaboration among several people from different places in world...." Instantly the lyrical picture was set in my mind - thank you, Z! You made it so easy.
He also suggested specific sections in the piece where vocals might go - which was enormously appreciated. Vocalists are often sent music with really no room for singing - such was not the case here; plenty of wide open spaces for developing a strong theme, reinforced by all the various instrumental solos. So, as a singer, this collaboration was a dream! I'm honored to be part of such a truly Universal Song. My sincere thanks to all involved.

Universal Song
You sing your part
and I'll sing mine
We'll weave together
a song so fine
Every one of us
is necessary
Each part we sing
is just what's needed now
You sing the lows so well
and I like the highs
We blend and balance
as earth and sky
Every one of us
is necessary
Each part we sing
is what the song needs now
Every one of us
is necessary
Each part we sing
is what the song needs now
We're necessary
We're what the song needs now
We're necessary
We're just what's needed now
You sing the lows
I'll sing the highs
We'll weave together a song so fine
A universal song
ooo ooo ooo ooo now
