Hey There !
A few years ago I began a Musical Odyssey, wherein I began recording freeform experiments on the Classical Guitar, using my own Tuning. I am sitting on over 1500 unedited mini-disks. I knew someday I would have the gear necessary to turn these disks into CDs.
As you can see, that day is dawning. The process of editing has begun and hopefully over the next few years, (2008-2012), I will be releasing several dozen, if not hundreds of different recordings!
A unique twist to this adventure is I am creating the majority of these CDs to benefit various individuals and assorted causes.
For example, upon learning that my God-Daughter Jessie was going to have a baby, I was inspired to record several disks with the intention of releasing them and seeing to it that she receives all the $$$ from the sale of her CDs.
One way you could help is purchase a few CDs via Digital Downloads, then burn up to 3 copies to give away to some friends or family who would enjoy what I do on guitar.
That way you would help spread the Word about this unique method of Blessing others who could use a little help... |

I have a Vision of visiting all 50 States over the next few years and documenting my Journey via audio and video. The Purpose of these travels is to end up with a CD from each State, and hopefully, a number of Documentaries.
The CDs from each State will be for the “John C. Redell Breath of Life Foundation”, which is merely my way of expressing and fulfilling my desire and Plan to generate funds for children with breathing disorders and funds to help re-forest our Planet and to assist a variety of other Charities. More trees mean better air, which should mean fewer breathing problems.
The profits from the sale of certain CDs and Art Disks via Digital Downloads, particularly, several from the “Breath of Life Series”, will be used to help the children and their families with the cost of dealing with their infirmities. I have a Friend at a children’s medical facility who will help me route the $$$...
The other $$$ will go to many verifiable and qualified Organizations already in existence who are grateful for some extra support.
How can you help?
Click here to find out what Music CDs and Art Disks are currently available. There is bound to be something you will enjoy, if you like vibrant Art Created on the Computer for the Computer, and the sound of a guitar being played from the Heart, with a Passion for Life and all its wondrous possibilities.
To quote a preacher I once heard, “WOW spelled backwards is WOW !...”
If you like Guitar, you will enjoy the ride ! |

Inside any CD bearing this Guitar logo or variations of it, you will find free flowing Classical Guitar sounds, not necessarily in a Classical style. I drink a few cups of coffee, sit back and reflect on the wonders of Life, the events of the day or perhaps some interactions I may have had with the people I care about. I use my own Guitar Tuning, and the Inspiration I get from the gifted Circle of Musicians I find myself surrounded by. I am indeed Blessed and Fortunate to be part of such a wonderful process.
PEACE... |

Soon after I became a part of the Cyber Community, I said one of those kind of non-prayers. Something like, “It would be really cool, if I could create Art with my computer.”
Shortly after I felt compelled to check out some of the programs I already had and acquire some new ones.
Then, “Lo and Behold”, shapes and images began to emerge onto my screen that were mesmerizing and beautiful. Since Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I can only hope you see what I see…
Feel free to download some of my Art. Then run it as a slide show.
Let me know what you think. |

On July 9, 2002, I had an unverifiable experience that reaffirmed some of my own thoughts and Beliefs about Life.
In short a fever took over my body, and the following two hours seemed full of wondrous internal revelations, as well as, some specific comments from some form of heavenly persona.
Granted, it could’ve been nothing more than a fever induced hallucination.
Since I don’t feel the message was for anyone but me, I think it is safe to say, “Faith is in the Heart of the Believer...”
I did however come away with a renewed sense of purpose, and for me that usually manifests outwardly, through my fingers onto the nearest fretboard. Such is the Music you will find on my CDs .
Whether you believe my Experience or not, I do think you will agree what I play is at least inspired, if by nothing more than being grateful to be alive. |
