About This:
The Sirius Festival Project has been long, arduous and full of joy (at increasingly frequent moments of realization). So many have contributed spiritually and materially to this project and this is the moment for acknowledgment. The inspiration for this musical ritual came from my wife, Tuija Robbins, who holds a deep reverence and appreciation for all that Sirius means to the spiritual individual and group. Her profound understanding of the inner worlds (and her dramatic talents) made it possible for me to launch immediately into the writing of the poetry, prose and music as soon as she related her ideas. Her Temple of Silence in Finland is especially focussed toward the Sirian Energy. It goes without saying that without the cooperation of my friend and colleague, Dr. Grandstaff Harold Moses, this large project (and many other related musico-dramatic projects) would never have materialized. His sensitive musicianship, astute technical craftsmanship and precise engineering skills have been indispensable for the manifestation of this demanding creative work.
