Project Description: Reviving Ancient Songs for a Globalized World
This project aims to preserve and revive the timeless legacy of ancient songs that risk fading away in an increasingly globalized world. Our mission is to ensure these songs, once on the verge of being forgotten, live on in a form that resonates with modern listeners.
Ancient cultures hold immense wisdom and power, offering invaluable insights for contemporary life. These songs are like dormant seeds, waiting to sprout. Just as seeds bloom when nurtured by the earth, these songs bloom with energy and life when sung. When they are expressed and shared, the power within them blossoms and spreads, touching the hearts of those who hear them.
Our goal is to keep these songs alive and integrate their beauty and strength into a new vision for the world. We aim to remind modern society, which often prioritizes the mind over the spirit, of the deep connection we once had with the earth and the heavens.
To achieve this, we are pursuing the following projects:
● Music Distribution (Spotify, Bandcamp, Amazon Music, Apple Music, etc.): We will explore and implement strategies to reach a broad and diverse audience.
● Visual Storytelling: We will create visually compelling videos that capture and convey the world of these songs, enhancing their emotional impact.
● Live Tours: There is no substitute for the energy and power of live performance. We will organize tours, starting in Japan and expanding to the United States and Europe. For example, we envision guerrilla-style performances in unique settings like museums and galleries in New York, where audiences are open-minded and receptive. Rather than traditional concert halls, these unconventional venues will allow us to connect with listeners on a deeper level. Ideally, I would be accompanied by an arranger, sound specialist, and a chorus of 3–6 people. We also plan to perform in natural locations such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Yosemite National Park, where we will blend natural acoustics with the music, capturing these moments on film and audio. Over the coming years, we hope to expand these performances to places like Africa, Brazil, Greece, Ireland, India, and other regions rich in ancient musical traditions.
● Workshops: Live performances could be complemented by workshops on vowel sounds and overtone singing, allowing participants to experience the power of the human voice in a deeply connected way.
● Festival Presentations: We plan to present these songs at both music and film festivals, reaching wider audiences and expanding our cultural impact.
● Collaborations: We are researching potential collaborators for film and music distribution programs, seeking partners who share our vision.
● Radio Play: We aim to get these songs played on radio stations that embrace new and experimental genres, such as One World Music Radio in the UK.
● Award Submissions: We will submit our work for relevant awards to gain recognition and further credibility for the project.
● Healing Environments: Given the soothing and uplifting nature of this music, we will approach hospitals, hospices, senior citizen facilities, police stations, prisons, government offices, and other high-stress environments to play the music, offering moments of peace and calm.
● Genre-Transcending Collaboration: We welcome and encourage collaborations that transcend traditional genre boundaries, fostering creative partnerships that celebrate diversity and innovation.
We deeply appreciate any support you can offer for these activities and other promotional efforts.
Your label is unique in its ability to listen with both a flexible ear and an open heart, recognizing sounds that defy traditional musical genres and embracing them with love for the world. You are the only one who truly understands our value and supports us in the most fitting way. Your help in expanding our reach to a larger audience would mean the world to us.
The album is almost fully mixed, though we’re still applying the final touches. Any advice or guidance you can provide on how to connect with listeners globally would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
