Music, Poetry & Performing Arts Resources

Music is an art form in which the medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses". (Photos: CultureWorks)

"Music is the source of philosophy and the harmony of the uni-verse, the one song." - Anonymous

Vision Statement and Purpose:

New boundaries along the edge of human experience are constantly redrawn through the endeavors of our visionary artists, extraordinary musicians, dancers and performers, authors, poets and stage/film actors, directors and producers.

"You are full of heavenly stuff and bear the inventory of your best graces in your mind" - Shakespeare

Whereas their purpose is to create and push the edge, ours is to encourage and support an enlightened global culture of free expression in the arts, music, dance and theatre.

"Art will save the world." - Kathleen McGowan

Whereas the traditional culture of tribes and nations are expressed in the community and political realms, the visionary culture of arts, music, dance and theatre is expressed through live events, festivals and theatre, conscious media, film and books. Also emerging are the cultures of sustainability, consciousness, freedom and sovereignty.
