Musical storytelling from the heart of the peace jungle
Bio / Background
The musical story in this two CD set begins in the musical, colorful, and beautiful Land of Ink, which is about to be discovered and taken over by creatures from the precise, black-and-white, and powerful Land of Paper. It tells the story of Black Ink, a tiny, tiny, tiny, black, black, black ant who sets out to cross the universe, in hopes of finding a power that will save his fellow ink creatures and their land from the terrible curse of Paper Magic.
The story includes a number of my well-received original songs that have always been included in the telling of this story and that been previously released as stand alone tracks. The list includes: Mama Earth Just Poked A Mountain Out At Daddy Sky; The Ant-stronaut Song; A Black Man's Prayer; Walk for Peace; See God Smiling; Abraham's Burden; and I Can Imagine Peace.
↓ more ↓This first run of audio recordings was actually made and assembled in the Peace Jungle studios and individually signed by Boundless Gratitude!
The story represents almost 10 years of work on an idea that began with my first song, written almost 30 years ago about an ant who was "gonna cross the universe." The ant acquired a name, "Black Ink", in what I would describe in retrospect as the beginning of an intense and continuing artistic exploration of the ancestral memories in my own DNA. I wrote my first (and only to date) musical play, "Free Black Ink" in 1998-99, and I plan to take the finished story on this CD straight to the local theatre that is still waiting for me to come back and produce that play. I also gave my first public musical storytelling performance in February 2000: an early version of the Black Ink story that was very well received at a children's storytime in a local bookstore. My personal exploration continues, but this story project has now matured enough to head out into the world on its own.
