‘There is a melody
To this Sea
As the Waves
Caress the sand
Time is no more
As I see the Future
From the Seashore’ – Taken from the forthcoming Single/Video ‘Seashore Dreams’
Listen and Watch it LOUD! http://youtu.be/MAvk0KwEDb4
This short mysterious film serves as both a teaser trailer for the upcoming full videoclip, but
also as a stand-alone clip to show part of the story of the new album.
As the main character lays down in the magical sand, a dark future unfolds, where sound
devastates the land..
Full videoclip and new song to be release in a few weeks time. Stay tuned!

THE JOHN ORR FRANKLIN PROJECT – REACHING GROUND A MUSICAL JOURNEY IN FOUR PARTS.
In an effort to create some something new and exciting Melodic Revolution Records and the John Orr Franklin Project have come up with a new concept for the release of the “Reaching Ground” Release.
Part 2 of Reaching Ground” is now available for free streaming.
The 1st part of Reaching Ground” was released Tuesday October 9th with a new part being released each week for a total of 4 weeks. This epic master piece will be released as a full digital album on November 6th 2012. “Reaching Ground” will be accompanied by an e-book filled with artwork, lyrics and the albums credits.
The album tells the tale of one man’s journey through a world on the brink of universal evolutionary change. After first contact with beings from another dimension, the planet descends into a world of distrust and discord. In this landscape of division between those that believe, and have made contact with this new race, to those that cannot or refuse to believe, one man comes forth to fulfill his destiny.
His hope to bring harmony back into a world struggling to rebuild a bridge into a truth that was abandoned many a millennia ago, is encapsulated in “Reaching Ground” and is the beginning of his story.
Special guest musicians include drummers Gavin Harrison from multi-platinum British prog giants Porcupine Tree, and Victor Tassone of Unified Past.

I’ve been nearly completely inactive in my social networks since mid-July or so. Not that I wouldn’t have liked to participate, but I have been engrossed in the redaction of the above essay.
When I tackled the project, I thought it would take a few weeks at most, and that I would be able to maintain my regular pace in other activities. However, I soon realized that the endeavour required great amounts of attention, and that the most efficient way of discharging the task was to dedicate as much time as I could to it, as quickly as practicable, so that it wouldn’t drag on forever.
I finished the first draft a little over one week ago, and the final revision was completed yesterday. If the process was more protracted and demanding than originally expected, it nonetheless led to some very interesting insights and discoveries, notably in terms of the implications of the oneness of all things and beings, and with regard to the existing initiatives and organizations that work to improve the conditions of creators and inventors.
Essentially, the document elaborates on the points that I had attempted to convey in concise form through several conversations held in June and July, which in retrospect weren’t the best context for such an exercise. In hindsight though, there was clearly something impelling me to finally voice my position on the question, after I had silenced it for too long. Given all that is expressed in the text, I doubt that it would have been possible for me to come up with an effort as exhaustive any sooner. So, perhaps the timing was perfect, or at least better than I reckoned when I began writing.
I am glad that the undertaking gave me the opportunity to explain my conception of art and of its nature, value, and function, as I had tried to achieve this in the past, but circumstances had ultimately prevented me from attaining the objective.
Hopefully, the perspectives that I offer on the issue of illegal file sharing and its consequences in the lives of downloaders, artists, and the whole of society, will prove useful and enlightening to many readers.

The description follows below. I wish you a most enjoyable reading !

Over the last decade or so, file sharing has become a widespread phenomenon. As much as having the possibility of exchanging information almost instantaneously can represent a blessing in terms of communication and progress, it obviously opens the door to pursuits that enjoy a far less angelic reputation.
Still, the overall picture suggests that a significant number of internet users participate in such ill-famed activities. Considering this state of affairs, could illegal file sharing actually be a positive process for those downloaders, and for the collectivity alike ?
The question is generally approached from the angle of its economic impacts, but there is evidently more to the issue than its pecuniary dimension.
« Takers Economy » proposes an alternative look at illegal file sharing in light of the role of art in society, and in the context of the oneness of all beings and things.
In addition, the inquiry explores the global picture from which the circumstances emerge, and attempts to characterize the underlying culture that gives rise to them.
Finally, the essay introduces a philosophy of endosymbiotism that aims to foster attitudes and behaviours that accord with the ethics of the inherent unseparateness of being.
