This is the new new music, an up-to-date message from jazz avant garde; the music is alive and well, and Earth People is one of its strongest contributors." - Florence Wetzel (All About Jazz NY) "This is New World music, a New Age free jazz fusion poetry funk gumbo whose geography is not only the planet but the soul." -Terrell Holmes (All About Jazz NY)

	Installations
	Seismic Sound Lab If you were standing on the surface of Earth during an earthquake, you would hear a low rumble at the bottom of your ears’ limits of perception; the rest you would feel. Now imagine you are deep inside Earth, listening to the earthquakes popping and ringing around the surface. A collaboration between sound designer Jason Candler & geophysicist Ben Holtzman. A sound ring was constructed in October 2006 to play back the sounds of wave propagation within the earth. The exhibit is in constant evolution as new versions are being developed for museums, schools, and public installations. We present "Seismodome" at the Hayden Planetarium (Museum of Natrual History, NYC) about once a year, and are currently working on other large scale demonstrations around the globe.
	in so many words ... in so many words is an 18 ½ hour time capsule of news radio, composed entirely of unedited sound bites, devoid of any newscasters, commentators, editorials or analysts (and is commercial free!). It sequentially covers the time period of the 2008 Presidential Election, and the first hundred days of the Obama Presidency (May 12, 2008 to May 12, 2009). Described as "a cocktail for social awareness and self evaluation", the edited result unfolds a mind-opening non sequitur narrative that informs you about the city, country, and world we live in, the scope of news reporting, the connections seemingly different stories have with each other, and how you relate to this reality. The longer you listen, the more the puzzle pieces fall into place.
	Festivals
	Ese ... What if ... Festival New York Trumpeter Luca Fadda & Jason Candler started the annual Ese Festival in 2005 as a means to bring together artists who don't ordinarily perform together. The project seems to be working, as new collaborations have been springing up in the few years since the inception.
