You know life can be long, and you've got to be so strong....

I am reminded today of that December 8 twenty-six years ago when John Lennon was killed on the streets of New York.

I was a teenager growing up in the city, and the Beatles were the single biggest musical influence in my budding artistic explorations. I knew every word and every chord to every Beatle song, and was mesmerized by the artistry of their productions, especially from '66-'70. It was during the summer of '80 when my older brother turned me on to his John Lennon solo album collection, which I had never really delved into before. I immediately was attracted to the stark and brutally honest "Plastic Ono Band" - I had never heard an album sound like that! "Imagine" also came close to wearing out its LP grooves in those days. Lennon's music was all so personal and real, and listening to those two albums every day for several months was like visiting a friend bearing his soul. It happened to be John's goobye for me.

Of course, I have every Lennon solo album, but none in my opinion reaches the sheer emotion of "Plastic Ono Band" and "Imagine". And I am reminded in my musical journey to bring out that same level of emotion in my music. I aspire to do it with an epic orchestra and choir, and John did it simply with a raw guitar, basic piano chords and scratchy vocal. Genius, that.....

"Wherever you are, you are here"
Thanks, John.

The New Website.....

Welcome to Globus first blog. These will be posted on a regular basis, so check back with us often. We're definitely working on a few fronts over the next few months to roll out Globus to all four corners of the globe!

Very pleased with new look and feel of the Globus website, but that's not all the exciting news.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be rolling out a couple of very cool features to the site which will let you interact with Globus material, both audio and visual. We plan on posting separate tracks of one of our songs and allowing users to create mashups and remixes. We'll then have a submission contest and award first, second and third prizes. We'll also make available some of our video footage and allow users to create their own multimedia clips in sync with our music. We'll then post the winning entries on our website for all to hear. Now you guys get to have as much fun as we do, immersing yourself in Cinematic Rock!!

We've been promising this for a while, and it's almost upon us. Right before Xmas, we'll post our little thank you in the Bonus Track section of the website in the form of a new track from Globus. We're putting the finishing touches on it in between writing music for some very big trailers. Just can't get away from this style of music! Anyway, e-mails to all our fans will be going out very shortly alerting you of the availability!

Thanks to all our ardent supporters. We appreciate your comments on the website, how we can make it better, and any ideas you have regarding anything Globus!

Cheers from LA!
