With the contributing artists, composers, producers, and organizing
committee members scattered across the globe we have operated
via FTP and special digital collaboration tools as well as by
teleconferencing and the email. The songs on this album are of
diverse styles and genres, a sampling of the passions and inspirations
of Baha'is around the globe.
In the
first phase of the project, composers electronically submitted
rough demos of song ideas. The organizing committee then selected
songs to develop for the project based on quality of songwriting,
diversity of style, and priority for memorization. In the second
phase, each song was adopted by one of three producers who took
responsibility for arranging, recording, and mixing the song
in consultation with the composer, using the talents of various
additonal artists as deemed appropriate.
Many
of the songs have been recorded using virtual collaboration,
with different parts of the songs recorded in studios thousands
of miles away from each other. After the songs were finished,
a second selection determined which songs will appear on the
CD, taking into account diversity of style for widest appeal.
Songs that did not make it to the CD are planned to be available
for purchase electronically through Divine Notes. We hope that study circle participants
will fined these tracks enjoyable and helpful for memorization
in the Institute Process as well as adding extra creative stimulation
for study and enjoyment. The songs on the album are also available
on iTunes.
45 musicians, producers and composers have contributed their talents to the project to
date. Among the musical styles submitted were: Rock, Electronica,
Folk, Hammer Dulcimer, Alernative Country, Gospel, Bluegrass,
New Age, African Drums, Chorale and more! Twenty tracks of original music for the
Creative Word of Baha'u'llah.
