Oppressing Freedom - The Digital Freedom Network

My Times


Yes, my album One Moment in Time will be released by Iron Music and distributed by BMG in Canada in 1998. The most likely date being September.
We expect to release a single to radio only by August.
More details to follow soon...


Everything is sounding great with the Emily Richards production.
Thursday last week Stephen Ferrone played the drums and Walter Turbitt got the sounds on a lovely API consule at LAFX in North Hollywood. We're looking forward to finishing up in the next 2 weeks.


The Feature Film Listen which has Wrapped Around Your Finger performed by Dan Hill from his latest album in the closing credits, is currently showing on HBO/Cinemax.

If you're like me, you'll be looking for a place to rent an Avid after visiting the Film Editing Home Page.

Just in case we start to get complacent about the state of our planet, it might be worthwhile taking a look at a few pages relating to some real problems that continue to get worse.
It's awfully distracting when all the media talks about is the world economy and how commerce is the cure for all our (corporate) ills.
Imagine what Los Angeles could do instead with the billions the Mayor wants to spend doubling the size of the airport as well as the Import shipping capacity of Long Beach Harbour.
I say import because the USA imports about 70 per cent of the food it eats and mostly exports grain for animal feed...think about that when you're reading the The Geography of Poverty, an excellent overview from the United Nations archives, released in 1996, that goes a long way to put things in perspective.

A Shelter from the Stormy Blast is an article from the Toronto Globe and Mail that reminds us that the problems of hunger and shelter are very real and very close to home even in a wealthy city in one of the world's wealthiest countries; Canada..

The United Nations Development Programme is devoted to improving conditions for the worlds poorest and has a News Update page online.

Finally, back to Toronto and a very special human being who cares about people and who is using his creativity and energy to make a difference in our world, Peter Dalglish.


"The world risks losing all its productive land to desertification in less than 200 years if the present annual loss of 27 million hectares (66.7 million acres) continues."
