Coalition of the Willing
Coalition of the Willing is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a ‘post Copenhagen’ world.
The film offers a response to the major problem of our time: how to galvanize and enlist the global publics in the fight against global warming. This optimistic and principled film explores how we could use new Internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change. Through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, ‘Coalition of the Willing’ makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to hand the fight against global warming to the people.
Coalition of the Willing has been directed and produced by Knife Party, written by Tim Rayner and crafted by a network of 24 artists from around the world using varied and eclectic film making techniques. Collaborators include some of the world’s top moving image talent, such as Decoy, World Leaders and Parasol Island.

Laura
It’s time for some jazz! Here’s me playing “Laura” (composed by David Raksin) on my Casio Privia PX-830 digital piano. It was adapted from the theme of the 1944 film “Laura” directed by Otto Preminger. Lyrics were written by Johnny Mercer. It has become a jazz standard with over four hundred known recordings. The best known versions are by Frank Sinatra, Woody Herman, Dick Haymes, Charlie Parker, J.J. Johnson and Julie London. I hope you like it!
