11 TRACK MUSIC MENU:

1. Change Now:
With our planet''s growing population, finite resources, climate change challenges, and biodiversity threats it''s time to consider new personal and political paradigms. "Change now, change for the positive ..... change for the children".

2. Dancing Hearts Orchestra:
Dancing with joy and compassion in our hearts, old and young, crossing musical boundaries.

3. Peacedance:
Dancing for peace in the West, peace in the East, peace in the Middle East, peace in our hearts.
*Peacemaking [Sulcha] and restoring true harmony and tolerance are needed.
*Sulcha is an Arabic word, close to the Hebrew word Slicha [meaning forgiveness] for a peacemaking process in the community, used for restoring harmony after serious wrongdoing.

4. Chances of Life:
"I could have been born anywhere, somewhere, into times of novelty [ innovation] or times of fundamentalism".
We have the luck or otherwise of being born in a particular place at a particular time to particular parents.
We take a chance on every course of action and have to accept the consequences. These are the chances of life.

5. Virtually Enlightened:
Its easy to feel we know everything...we can immerse ourselves in a particular religious or spiritual journey, believing we may become somewhat enlightened. Sometimes we trick ourselves!
"I know everything about nothing. "I am totally light".

6. i-Ran:
"I ran from Iran. I ran and I ran and I ran." Iran has a rich cultural heritage but where currently, freedom of speech is suppressed , dissenters are vilified, adulterers can be stoned to death and women are oppressed. Media control is pervasive as it is in many other parts of the world !

7. Karma Than Chaos:
Accepting *Karma makes me calmer! Fate brings on the unexpected. Suffering can arise from arguing with what is.
*In Indian beliefs, the karmic effects of all deeds actively shape past, present, and future experiences.

8. Tranzworld Express:
Trains [and bicycles] are fuel efficient & beautifully suited to future needs especially compared to road transport and planes.

9. China India:
China and India with their rich musical & philosophical histories and 37% of the worlds population are currently political opposites and the rising cultural, innovative and economic powerhouses of our planet.

10. Renewable Energy:
100 percent of the world’s energy, for all purposes, could be supplied by wind, water and solar resources. *An estimate of numbers is 3.8 million large wind turbines, 90,000 solar thermal plants, and numerous geothermal, tidal and rooftop photovoltaic installations worldwide. The numbers are large but achievable and not an insurmountable hurdle.
Society has achieved massive transformations before.
We can eliminate fossil fuels – oil, coal and nuclear.
*Nov. 2009 Scientific American [a path to sustainable energy by 2030]

11. Ghosts of the Future:
Toxic legacies of the future like nuclear waste dumps, extinct species and genocide leave ghosts that fade very slowly.


ABOUT PETER WESTHEIMER:

Peter Westheimer''s musical journey since 1982 includes releasing 6 music albums, video clips and composing music for two feature films, many television documentaries and multimedia installations.

''Laminex Lovers'' [1982] ,his first record release, is still receiving acclaim as one of Australia''s cutting edge synth pop records.
The clip to ''Move'', the title track of the 1985 album was acclaimed as a top 10 video clip that year.
''Transition'' [1992] and ''Balance''[1994] CDs were successfully released in Australia, Japan and the USA. His paintings for the ''Transition'' tracks and profile appear in a publication ''Musicians As Artists'' featuring 52 internationally acclaimed musicians.
''Music Sculptures'', 2004 is a 50 track cinematic journey of contrasts featuring excerpts from 1982-2003 works with moods & instrumentation notes orientated towards film producer/directors.
''Tranzworld Express'' 2011 features strong new international music and is a personal renaissance back into the world of music after a concentrated time in politics from 2002 to 2008.

Peter Westheimer grew up in Melbourne Australia and as a 4 year old was ''excited'' by ''Music for the People'' orchestral concerts in the Fitzroy gardens. He went on to play violin from age 7 to 19 and in 1967 became leader of the Victorian Junior Symphony Orchestra and violinist in the Australian Youth Orchestra. Then came an ''epiphany'' of moving far away from the musical and social confines of the classical music scene to lots of improvisation with other musicians as well as acting & writing with progressive theatre groups. This morphed into playing electric guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, sitar and flute, writing songs, singing and playing in bands in the late 70''s and early 1980''s after which began his recording career.

REVIEW ''QUOTES'':

Peter Westheimer – Move Videoclip ...voted as one of the Top 10 music videos 1985 Australia by Beatbox ABC producer Mark Fitzgerald

Westheimer''s lyrics......are as funny as they are pessimistic and the songs themselves are quirky and inventive... intriguing, promising first album.
Rolling Stone July 1985 – Ed St John - ''Move''

...manages to escape rotten rock cliches for something vastly more worthwhile.
Stiletto Magazine 24th June 1985

...Cool and clear, warm and inviting they take you in, spin you around oh so gently and lead you out the way you came, a slightly altered state of mind being the only side-effect! Canberra Times April 19, 1987 - ''Sooner than Laughter'' album.

... an album of distinct quality and subterranean charm . Countdown Magazine 1987 Sooner Than Laughter

This is a record of synth. based music which reminded friends of mine of a wide range of calibre electro groovers – Yello, Philip Glass, Brian Eno, Moroder, Kraftwerk etc in both instrumental and vocal form..
On the Street newspaper 10th June 1987 - Sooner than Laughter album.

His first album ''Move'' from 1985 had one of the most imaginative videos ever.... not only to come out of this country but to come out of the 80''s video boom. Juke magazine Australia 1987

.. ''Sooner Than Laughter'' works the musical turf bearing the hoofprints of Kraftwerk, Ryuichi Sakamoto and the Flying Lizards. .. Australian Penthouse 1987 Jeremy Cooke''

This beautifully packaged CD........could be loosely described as world/ambient........Occasional conga patterns, a piano solo and a chilling sample of a woman laughing twist this ambient cruise......Impressive.
Sonics Magazine by Lesley Sly August 1992 ''Transition''.

Creating a space for sound rather than engaging in ego priming posturing, the Transition CD is a relaxing change from the everyday. Sometimes exciting often intriguing.......Who Weekly by Rob Johnson September 7, 1992

....his music not only presents the listener with a great variety of melodic and rhythmic themes and musical textures intriguingly intertwined but also a huge chunk of personality which turns the sum of the parts to a cohesive and musically vibrant whole. ''Balance'' and the previous album ''Transition'' are gems and would be a valuable addition to any musical collection. Byron Shire Echo September 21, 1994 by JB Balance CD

..the compositions will open up unrestricted mental vistas and imaginary journeys. Conscious Living no.29 June/July 1995 CD Balance

Wonderful musical textures and moods
Peter is a conceptual artist who creates aural instrumental sculptures rather than songs with traditional structural forms. ... fresh, inspiring and laced with magical moments. ......will appeal to anyone who appreciates music that reaches deep within one''s being to touch the soul.
What''s on the Planet newspaper Dec/Jan 1994 –1995 Balance CD
