Indonesia Postmodern, cd released
'Indonesia
Postmodern' is a collection of film music on which I performed sitar & requinto with gamelan instruments, with funds going
towards rebuilding the ISI Arts Institute that was destroyed by the recent
earthquake in Java.

I composed & performed the Indian music
for this new Albert Brooks film released on Jan 20th. Azam
Ali (voice), Pedro (bansuri), Jagan (violin), Abhijit (tabla),
Hom Nath (tabla & tarang), Peter (cello) worked with
us on the music with composer Michael Giacchino 'The Incredibles'.
A hilarious story of what happens when the U.S. Government
sends comedian Albert Brooks to India and Pakistan to find
out what makes the over 300 million Muslims in the region
laugh. It's a funny flick that wouldn't get released by Sony
because of fears of the word Muslim in the title. The website
for the film www.lookingforcomedy.com
Salaam Suite

My new cd called 'Salaam Suite' is now available, a collection
of songs & instrumentals calling for unity, awareness,

Prayer for the New Year
Dear Creator Lord,
May we find in man today those who proclaim you bravely
in love…
not in fear & hate.
May we build up those who stand firm in the truth…
not deceiving with double talk.
May we teach unity of humankind…
not blinding ourselves with divisive nationalism.
May we stand for justice… and lift our voices against
oppression & inequality.
May we work daily for peace… opposing the machineries
of war.
In the face of all calamities and injustice…
May we trust that you will reveal in us a great light and
your Spirit of unconquerable love.
Paul Z.
