Like A Magnet

August 11th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Bahai, Conference, Media, Music

The youth who attended the Florida Baha’i summer school, with the help of superstar Andy Grammer, created an original song centered around this quote:

Faith is the magnet which draws the confirmation of the Merciful One. Service is the magnet which attracts the heavenly strength.” – ‘Abdu’l-Baha

The challenge was to create the whole thing from start to finish in 25 minutes(!)

March 18th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Arts, Music

milkhouse-sessionsThe Milkhouse Sessions is the latest result of Rob’s brilliant musical genius. The EP is packed with seven tracks recorded in Boston, Massachusetts where Rob’s planning his crusade of the music world (and our ears) and in Moffat, Scotland where Rob first put strings to fingers.

He recorded the album recreating the live experience with studio quality recording. Just what we wanted after his brilliant performances at Changing Times this year. Two of the songs on this EP have already been critically acclaimed. In case you still don’t know who Rob is: Gillies is a singer-songwriter with a original style spanning pop, folk and hip-hop.

Now available on iTunes US, Canada and UK/EU. Enjoy the teaser:
