"The Prayer Cycle" is a contemporary classical composition featuring modern musicians from around the world. This work takes as its inspiration the onset of the Atomic Age in the 20th Century. Not since the harnessing of fire has there been any other single human invention or discovery which has changed the world so greatly, because no other technological development has given us the power to end life as we know it. By mere virtue of its existence, The Bomb has changed the way in which the world's political forces interact. "The Prayer Cycle" is a conceptual album about its history, from the genesis of the Atomic Age to the present state of nuclear proliferation, that examines the influence that The Bomb has had on our society and culture; tracing musically, the origins of The Bomb in the Manhattan Project, the first tests at Trinity Site, the devastating first uses of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the ensuing decades of living in fear of the power unleashed through these weapons. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the 1st test at Trinity, the importance of grasping the impact of this great force on the world is impossible to ignore. "Prayer Cycle" was released on Sony Classical; the follow up will be released on Universal Classics: this fresh "Cycle" mixes new electronics in a uniquely collaborative way, featuring offerings by Sting, Trudie Styler, Salif Kata, Raha Nusraet Fateh Ali Khan, Jonathan Davies of KORN, Serj (from System of a Down), Anthony Keidis, Alanis Morisette, London Phil & Choir, and Angelique Kujo. A portion of the proceeds will fund charities which address children's education and awareness of the Atomic Age, and it's weapons repercussions. As Robert Oppenheimer, one of the fathers of The Bomb, noted: if WW III is fought with nuclear weapons, WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
