HEAVEN EYES
David Almond


Review "Heaven Eyes"

"From the extremely skilful duo James Hesford and Alfia Nakipbekova, this contains part of a dramatic interpretation of David Almond's novel. Progressive and invigorating the pair take the cello into uncharted areas, amalgamating Eastern strings with bluesy harmonica and cinematic percussion. Brave and brilliant."

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

Hope the holiday season is treating you well!
I thought I’d let you know that I have a new Poetry CD coming out next year featuring translations of the Chinese master poet Du Fu.
The label that released it is offering a pre-release digital preview to accompany my book Facing the Moon. Details can be found at http://brokenelectric. com/merch. htm
