Art of Pop is currently
developing
"
Bridges", a 90-minute, electro-centric music program bridging
peoples, cultures
and
worlds. Prior to the show's opening, the audience is treated to the
Music of the Mayan Sacred Calendar, as it's astral tones (from
DarkMother.com's
ReBirth) facilitate
universal
harmony, balance and Consciousness throughout the venue*. As
Bridges
opens, the music of Alyras takes the stage with "Ona Postavila Svechu",
a flavorful blend of Pop+Salsa+Jazz, one of her "Three Russian Poems."
From that point,
Alyras's music
dominates the show, smoothly
progressing through urban and EU Pop flavored with Hip-Hop, Rock and
Jazz, sung in English, French, Russian and Portuguese. After completing
the full performance of "Three Russian Poems", with "Dve Rozi" and
"Pe4al", the show takes a brief departure from repetitious rhythms for
a few minutes of SanctuAria, from the label's
Dark
Mother profile; a
chant or two, enabling people to experience currents of (Divine) Spirit
facilitating deep, inner healing. Rising up out of SanctuAria,
Bridges
shifts into Elven realms with the music of
Iluvamil.
Returning to
Earth,
Bridges weaves into Alyras's exotic EU oriented
Dance music, penultimately including
Alyras's
signature, a cappella
version of Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" (in tribute to Michael Jackson)
,
concluding with the
haunting and driving "Beat of My Heart" (and ReBirth streaming
again as the audience exits.)

Each presentation of
Bridges is a poignant, lyrical,
rhythmically passionate journey. Between nations and peoples, cultures
and
traditions, the world needs a lot of bridges now; with
Bridges, Art of Pop gives the world a little Space/Time
to create a few of them.
Bridges;
music of Light, music of Love; Music of unity for all, in All.
