“When was the last time you were invited to a party that spanned the globe, was attended by a few billion people, transcended time-culture-politics-religion, and the guest of honour … was Every Living Being?”

A sweaty summer night in 1987. The floor of a NYC living room. David Bowie’s “Dancin’ in the Streets” blasts on the stereo. And I’m fixated; on a sprawling map of the world while my cat chases my dog in madcap loops around the room and, of course, across the map. The cat mounts the dog like a circus act run amok as they continue to race, etching skid marks into the world. But I'm in my own world, captivated by a perennial question most of us have posed at least once in earnest: who in heaven are we and why on earth are we here?

My dog breathlessly slides onto the map, squats over the Marianna Trench, and pees. With glee. The cat is perched like a small God on a faraway tabletop observing the damp map and floor below. Yet for some reason I'm not mesmerised by the pee so much as the We. Multiple shapes of multiple nation states with multiple beings living within and between them … this captivates me.

Who ARE we all, going about our daily business oftentimes oblivious … oblivioUs? Is someone else across the planet now looking heavenward wondering the same thing? And what would it be like if we ALL connected, through music, for one incredible global moment in time? Will that change us? Engage us? Inspire a new kind of “genesis” … a “genesUs”?

With a guest list in the billions, a globally televised fete on behalf of us all seemed farfetched at the outset (though people were intrigued). Now, like a bad dress rehearsal, 2020’s New Abnormal arrived with a crazy “Mask-erade" Party no one wished to be invited to.

Hardly the kind of “global moment of connection & reflection” Sync had originally envisioned.

In 1995 I was in Istanbul to film the pilot for a Reality TV series I developed for Turkish television. “Bana iyi bir şey söyle” (Tell Me Something Good) was a half hour weekly news format devoted exclusively to good news in and around local communities. The Networks’ responses were enthusiastic and unanimous; great idea but there’s no good news in Turkey so try another country. Yet one door closed as another opened. I befriended a Turkish entrepreneur who believed otherwise, and with his own avant garde dreams.

Together we mounted the rudimentary phase of my longstanding vision. By 1996 it was en route; first partnering with David Niven Jr. and a UN driven millennium endeavour before shifting to the Paris based media group where I remained thereafter. Hence the first incarnation of what would become Synchronistory® – initially as a global millennium event.

Since then I've circumnavigated the global mindset, further chiseling and refining this televisionary concept to reveal the definitive inspirational vehicle it’s evolved into — this time accompanied by my German team.

Travel and Astronomy are among my passions. Music is another. It’s enriched my journey exploring the byways of human nature with an inquisitive cultural eye — be it the inner realms of the psyche or the outer reaches of the universe. You could say my roadmap through life has been an “Iliodd” &“Oddysee”. The learning curves are often comic, occasionally heartbreaking, and sometimes even cosmic.

Music is my soul, inspiration is my goal, and imagination is my portal. All of them are balanced in grounding, yet with respectful inquiry for those mysterious realms that lie beyond us … and within us.

From environmental concerns to environMental, Civilization is poised for a dynamic shift that inspires Individuals & Industry to live as a more conscientioUs and caring species amongst many, and cultivate better relations. Like a musical midwife, Synchronistory® champions this birth on earth with the creation of a watershed worldwide entertainment phenomenon … one that sparks enlightened imagiNations.
