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(!)

Two brilliantly talented young musicians, Niaz and Armin, produced a fresh intonation of Baha’u'llah’s words:
“Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee.”
They are both students at Changing Times’ hometurf at Townshend International School. We want to see more of this kind, send it in people!

At last, after popular demand, the soundtrack album to ‘The Wayfarer’, Jess Firth’s landmark documentary investigating the Bahai Faith, is available for download at CD Baby. In the next few weeks, it will become available on iTunes, Napster, Amazon and all good online retailers. An ideal accompaniment for devotionals, deepenings or simple reflection, the film’s score composed by film and television composer Edward White, is an eclectic mix of soft electronica, traditional middle eastern instrumentation, strings and guitars.
Edward said, “It was a really exciting project to work on. Jess has a wonderful eye and a profound ability to capture beautiful images of these iconic locations that was incredibly inspiring for me as a composer. What I really wanted to capture within the music for the film was this sense of purity. A sense that whatever the outcome, wherever one ends up, the search for those answers in and of itself, is one of the most dignified journeys a human being can set out upon…”

(af) This is an open message; to rally up groups of people, to explore music which strikes a common purpose and release vocals which aim higher. Beyond rap for rap’s sake, and beats designed for clubs. ‘Entry By Troops’ is one effort to let two ordinary guys in to your eardrums with room for you to take on your own understanding of what they are about, with the hope that you will feel an extraordinary vibe.
In a culture where we value our modern comforts even if it is in conflict with the needs of; ourself, society and the world. It quickly emerges how tough it can be to just to speak from your heart, E.B.T. is a project brought to you by someone who likes rhymes (Shin) and another person who loves melodies (Darsh), together they want to break the ice a little, and get everyone involved in whatever way they can.
They are now in the process of making their first EP titled ‘Comfort In Conflict’, with a selection of demo tracks available to listen to on the web, and the full release to be announced in 2009.
