iViva Jiva!

Well, it's almost ready...my promo CD iViva Jiva! featuring 2 songs from the upcoming album "BRAIN WASH" (to be released in 2008). The launch party is in Houston, Texas, on Friday Oct. 19, from 7 - 9pm. There'll be a poetry performance, possibly pyro-hoops...lots of good food and a performance of JIVA "Unplugged".

In search for other creative souls I attended the premiere of the Ho-Down B-Boys documentary at Rice Cinema, Houston, Texas...Lots of positive vibes, great music and beautiful people. Ckeck this out:

Many thanks to Bhakta Scott Tiemeyer for his remix of "We R 4-Ever", Martin Hausner (Mahatma dasa) for his kind permission to record his song (We R 4-Ever) and...
please check out this fantastic book :"Non Violent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg.
I used a poem that's in there for the lyrics to "Words Are Windows".

Update from Houston, Texas

Hi ya'll,

For the past couple of years, I've been collecting and composing songs. Now it's time to get them recorded. I'm meeting a lot of virtuoso artists. Looking for a recording studio to cook up a new sensation in world music!

Hopefully soon to come, a collaboration with special artists from the Houston, Texas world music scene and ... a live recording of ancient Indian chants.
