Earth Amplify Arts

World as MUSIC : music as world

Earth Amplify Arts is all the ways you love music, all in one place. Our content production team sits at the heart of a discovery journey - curating live events, recording productions, videos, playlists and other recommended content for consumers of culture to enjoy across festivals, venues, streaming apps and digital, gaming, sync and polyarts platforms.

Our festival production company focuses on events that unite diaspora and give a platform to new music. Always striving to deliver at the highest level and represent the culture with pride.

We live in an increasingly impersonal and disconnected world. Yet, the same technology that tempts us to be so disconnected from one another also opens doors for a much deeper type of connection. We get that.

We know that the power of technology can be used to bridge the gap between artists and audiences, doing away with the need for out-of-touch gatekeepers. Our new, global content platform broadcasts and records live concerts directly for diverse audiences.

Our events create a genuine connection between artists and audiences incorporating stories, interviews, unique collaborations, and once in a lifetime performances. All of our content is exclusive and produced by us.

We believe that when consumers of culture get to meet the artist who created the music - when they know the artist brand story, their character, their charisma - everything changes. Their music takes on a whole new level of meaning and purpose. Their story can influence your story.

Earth Amplify Arts is an NFP Not For Profit social enterprise collective and platform for live and recorded music. We specialise in Global Beats, Music of World Heritage, Fusion, Ambient, Art House, Ethnographic, Dub and Indie origins.

Earth Amplify Arts Is dedicated to the study, performance and promotion of the music of all genres of world origin. We are advocates for composers, producers, musicians and performers of global music.

Music as world, world as music.

Howard Goodall posits that Beatle, George Harrison, invented what is now branded, primarily by record labels, as 'World Music' with his experiments composing 'Within You Without You' in 1967 as part of the masterwork Sgt Pepper in the recording studio at EMI Abbey Road with inter-modal forms and cross genre instrumentation combining avant-garde, Western and Indian classical music collaborating with the Asian Music Circle and innovative producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick. A fusion of two cultures and a new musical genre and intercultural acculturation was born.

Opera or Popopera?

Like an opera a musical performance begins life long before the venue doors open or the curtain goes up and it ends long after the curtain has come down and the venue has emptied. It starts in the musician's imagination, becomes part of their life, and stays long after the performers have left the venue or recording studio. Great musicians prepare for rehearsals as most people would prepare for a marriage!

Committed to education, diversity and cultural integration, this Social Enterprise has at the heart of its endeavours the desire to bring to the concert stage the vitality that global music culture is famous for. Whilst mainstream music has lost touch with popular culture its African, Asian, Indian and Luso-Hispanic musicians of all ethnicities have developed a more dynamic approach which defies traditional boundaries of ‘high’ and ‘low’ art and which has brought music back into contemporary society. We believe that global beat art music therefore has a more important role to play than ever in reconciling the general public with world music culture.

As we develop it we hope that you will find our website a portal to a world of vibrant music, and a place to connect with a wider music community.

Earth Amplify

Changes in the Earth's orbit precession every 400,000 years cause the elipse of the orbit itself to wobble, getting bigger and then smaller, these variations in the earth's orbit conspire to AMPLIFY the effects of the precession and in one particular place on earth the planet's geography amplifies still further to produce rapid and extreme fluctuations in climate. The rapidly changing environment caused our transformation from ape to man. Human intelligence is a reponse to very violent and rapid climate change in the Rift Valley of East Africa.

3m yrs ago our brains had a 400 cc capacity and then 1.8m yrs ago an explosion in the homonid species evolved to double the brain size to 800cc. Then 800,000 years ago another increase in brain size to 1200 cc, 200,000 years ago our brains had grown to almost modern man's size at 1500 cc. Each change occurred when earths orbit was at its most eliptical and the climate at its most volatile. Big brain Homo sapiens are the result of changes in the earth’s orbit that depend on the precise position and orbits of the other planets in the solar system the way the Earth's s spin axis moves around which depends on the position and mass of the moon and the sun and the influence of those changes on the climate here on earth and in a place like this that can amplify those changes in just such a way that it makes living things respond by increasing their brain size, increasing their intelligence and ability to survive evolving our brains into the most complex physical structure anywhere in the known universe. To say there's over 80bn neurons in the average human brain, comparable to the number of stars in a galaxy, doesn’t even begin to describe its complexity and it is from this complex neural synaptic circuitry that the human condition emerges. Everything that makes us who we are comes from this 1.5kg of matter that resides in the skull of every human that has ever walked the earth: art, love, science, philosophy, music, mathematics, engineering, and technology are all Earth Amplify Arts! 10,000 generations later we’re all related to someone who lived in the Great Rift Valley 200.000 years ago, the first Homo sapiens.

Axial precession

The movement of the rotational axis of an astronomical body, whereby the axis slowly traces out a cone. In the case of Earth, this type of precession is also known as the precession of the equinoxes, lunisolarprecession, or precession of the equator.. The Earth's axis rotates (precesses) just as a spinning top does. The period of precession is about 26,000 years. Therefore, the North Celestial Pole will not always be pointing towards the same starfield. Precession is caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon on the Earth.
