Omar Faruk Tekbilek - Zeynep's Romance!
I was going to use this song in my daily messages tomorrow, but it's so beautiful, I felt it needed a post all it's own.
Uploaded by tiad on Mar 13, 2011
A masterpiece from the original motion picture soundtrack album from the Turkish movie "Kelebek" (2009, "The Butterfly", Director: Cihan Taskin). The music is composed by Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek. Listen & Enjoy it.
Found on Internet:
"Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek met more than two decades ago when Brian Keane discovered Omar playing in a club in New York, and hired him to play on his score to the Suzanne Bauman documentary about the art of the Ottoman Empire "Suleyman the Magnificent" in 1987. German record company owner Eckart Rahn noticed the music when the program aired and released the soundtrack on his Celestial Harmonies label. Their collaboration would grow to become among the most influential in both Eastern and Western music, pushing the boundaries of musical, spiritual, and geographical traditions. Since their initial work together, Brian Keane has become a Grammy winning record producer of over 100 records, and a multiple Emmy award winning film and television composer of over 400 films, while Omar Faruk Tekbilek has grown to become an international recording artist and concert musician, and one of the most well known and influential Turkish musician's in the world. Over the years, Omar and Brian have continued to work together, with Brian serving as producer and a composer on many of Omar's recordings, and Omar making the occasional appearance on Mr. Keane's film scores. Their last record collaboration together however, was the 1993 classic recording "Beyond The Sky" and their 1990 record "Fire Dance" was nominated for a Grammy.
With the "Kelebek" ("The Butterfly") soundtrack, film producer Mahmut Bengi has brought Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek together once again to create the music to this mystical and tragic story. The result is remarkable and moving. The score to Kelebek effortlessly flows from East to West, from orchestral score to traditional Turkish music, and into electronic sound design. The music moves just as effortlessly between moods, from mystical to tragic to suspense to folkloric or romantic. Whether it is the fusion of Jazz and red hot Middle Eastern musicianship...The beautiful melodic and harmonic East West mixtures of "Yusuf's Theme" and "Zeynep's Romance".....Brian and Omar continue to push the boundaries of musical tradition while simultaneously demonstrating a respect and affection for those traditions and their spiritual origins. Now in their mid fifties, Brian and Omar have continued growing in their own world's as prominent master musicians.."

I AM (Full Documentary)
Published on Apr 30, 2012 by Kleinkampf
I AM is a 2011 documentary film written, narrated, and directed by Tom Shadyac. The documentary explores Shadyac's personal journey after a 2007 bicycle accident, "the nature of humanity" and "world's ever-growing addiction to materialism." The film, shot with Shadyac and a team of four, contrasts sharply with Shadyac's previous comedic work. Shadyac had suffered post-concussion syndrome after a 2007 bicycle accident in Virginia, experiencing months of acute headaches and hyper-sensitivity to light and noise. The injury followed the cumulative effects of previous mild head injuries Shadyac had suffered surfing, mountain biking and playing basketball.
A 2011 New York Times article stated that: "the symptoms of a concussion [didn't] go away. Something as simple as a trip to the grocery store was painful for Shadyac, whose brain was unable to filter various stimuli. After medical treatments failed to help, he isolated himself completely, sleeping in his closet and walling the windows of his mobile home with black-out curtains. As his symptoms finally began to subside, the director wanted to share his inner quest in the way he knew best: through film." Shadyac likened the experience to Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell. Shadyac subsequently gave away his excess fortune, opening a homeless shelter in Charlottesville, Virginia and making a key donation to Telluride, Colorado's effort to set aside a natural area at the town's entrance. He reoriented and simplified his life, sold his 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m2) Los Angeles mansion and moved into a trailer park -- albeit the exclusive Paradise Cove park in Malibu.
In the film, Shadyac conducts interviews with scientists, religious leaders, environmentalists and philosophers including Desmond Tutu, Noam Chomsky, Lynne McTaggart, Elisabet Sahtouris, David Suzuki, Howard Zinn, and Thom Hartmann. The film asks two central questions: What's Wrong With the World? and What Can We Do About it?. It is about "human connectedness, happiness, and the human spirit", and explores themes including Darwinism, Western mores, loneliness, the economy, and the drive to war. The documentary includes animated scenes explaining scientific concepts, as well as clips from the films Wall Street and It's a Wonderful Life.
The L.A. Times said the film "was collection of sound bites that validate the filmmaker's point of view. What lifts the film above its dubious boilerplate assemblage of talking heads and archival images is Shadyac himself. With his gentle, self-mocking humor, he comes across as an exceptionally mellow, earnest and likable guy." Roger Ebert gave the film a negative review, stating that the "film is often absurd and never less than giddy with uplift, but that's not to say it's bad. I watched with an incredulous delight, and at the end, I liked Tom Shadyac quite a lot...he offers us this hopeful if somewhat undigested cut of his findings, in a film as watchable as a really good TV commercial, and just as deep. " Proceeds from the documentary go to the Foundation for I AM, which supports various charities.

Guess what's going on in Santa Monica Tomorrow Afternoon?
The Greater Los Angeles Chapter (USNC) for UN WOMEN is honored to welcome you to join our First Annual Women's Peace Walk.
Origins of Mother’s Day
In 1858, Anna Reeves Jarvis created Mothers’ Work Days in West Virginia to raise awareness of sanitation issues. During and after the Civil War, she continued these work days to promote the health of all combatants and enhance reconciliation. In 1870, Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother’s Day Peace Proclamation, encouraging the use of June 2 as a day for women to come together to discuss “the amicable settlement of international questions.” The author of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” was greatly troubled by the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. She declared “Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience”.
UN Women is dedicated to supporting women’s economic empowerment and political equality, ending gender-based violence, enhancing peace and security, and supporting the Millennium Development Goals. The US National Committee educates the public about UN Women’s work and advocates for full funding of its initiatives.
The recently formed Greater LA Chapter wants to work closely with like-minded organization and individuals to support these goals. We envision this silent walk through Santa Monica 3rd Street Promenade as a way to reflect on our roles as Practitioners of Peace and Social Change.
Speakers and music will precede and follow the walk.
I have a prior engagement and won't be able to make it, but if some of you guys out there go to the walk, I hope you come check out a VERY SPECIAL LADY and her band... and tell her I said hello.
I wish I could be there.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
GOOD MORNING!!! Let's start the day with Shaun Hopper, performing, "Bohemian Rhapsody".
If you want to know more about him, check out his website, www.shaunhopper.com.
Just because you hear a voice in your head it doesn't mean that it's speaking the truth. Well, don't believe that voice, and that voice won't have any power over you.
