What is music, if it’s not sustainable? If the human race will thrive going forward, sustainability must be reflected in every aspect of our society: in the energy that powers our cities, the food we eat, but also in the thought-content we create and consume. Music, for example, is a deeply influential celestial-technology… and like solar energy, it should be harnessed and dispatched as a beneficent public utility.
A tipping point has been reached. People are seeking alternatives to fear, narcissism and materialism. In fact, in the coming era, creative content devoid of integrative solutions will be rendered obsolete. (EMERALD-LANE)
