Featuring some of the finest brass players in the world, “Earth Games 2012” is the
creation of Italy’s super trombonist, composer, programmer and producer, Nicola
Ferro.
This musical-fusion of ’Classical’, ’Jazz’, ’Blues’, ’Pop’ and ‘Alternative’ is
a spine tingling reminder for us to Stop, and Listen to the beauty. Just as the
seventh century Mayan prophesized a reawakening for the year 2012; Nicola’s set
of musically diverse suites, creates a sort of internal-awakening, heightening one’s
senses and self-reflective consciousness
2012 is prophesized as a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology, this
masterpiece will start the process!
The writing of the four suites for “Earth Games 2012” began in 2005 (’suite’ being
a numerous series of tunes differing in rhythm, tempo and overall in style). …four
suites that became a virtual journey through time and space; a sort of ‘natural’
evolutionary journey, conjuring up imagery and reflection of current, past and future
generations, reminding us to ‘stop’: and listen to the music. The synergy of the
world-class musicianship and the mix of musical genres leading the musical journey
of course...
...first vision, past prophecies… Known as time’s special witness, 7th century Mayan
prophet Pacal Votan left a universal message for future generations of an evolving
Earth. He proclaimed that if humanity wishes to save itself from destruction, it
must return to living in a natural time. He foretold of the accelerated technological
society, and the resulting damage of our collective divergence from Natural Law
in exchange for materialist values.
As we approach the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary cycle, Pacal Votan’s
prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming;
with it bringing the return of universal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and
self-reflective consciousness - a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology.
It is foretold that the completion of the precession brings regeneration of Earth,
offering awakening to all open, willing hearts. This musical-fusion of ’Classical’,
’Jazz’, ’Blues’, ’Fusion’, ’Pop’ and ‘Alternative’ creates a musical landscape full
of emotion and possibility that merge together into one masterpiece comparable to
a rainbow; a regenerated, awakened rainbow full of many colours and shades of colour(s)
that represent the many different places in this vast and beautiful universe.
This grand cycle of evolution will culminate winter solstice 2012 AD.
