Bring World Music Home

I wanted to offer prospective investors and our budding community of The International Kids Palace of Music and The Performing Arts a grassroots expression and vision of music – our work in progress. I decided to make a video and I knew I needed to come up with a soundtrack that said what this school is about!

So I trusted Grace and one morning, before dawn, I awoke with the tune and the words in my head. I almost went back to sleep, but shook myself awake and said…”If you don’t write this down now, you will never remember it!”

Below is a phone recording of the theme in my head when I woke up……the very beginning from which the theme song and all video clips unfolded. – Josephine Swan

Bring World Music Home

This soundtrack was made in three hours amongst people who, in part, did not know each other! Some of us had never met. You can see us all in the video – a work in progress – an intimate look at total faith, willingness, courage and thus stellar collaboration. This is a look at what The International Kids Palace of Music and The Performing Arts has set its sights to become.

Special thanks to Dominic Camardella owner of Sound Design Studio, Santa Barbara who, with so many years of experience, guided our wild jump into on-the-spot composition and filming and is responsible for putting the sound track so smoothly together! – Josephine Swan
