WTM 1264 covers the visceral aspects of war – the sounds of war that inflate suffering & trigger anxiety, the rubble of war at the feet of extreme narcissists empowered by religion & nationalism.
1264 includes Israeli, Palestinian, Arab & Jewish musicians + a few tracks targeting war. I discovered a lot of resistance in Palestine & the spirit of refugees. You will hear the will to survive, remain positive, dance, make music, not give in to the geopolitical masters of war.
Research suggests that a leader’s personality can determine why and when wars start and end. Narcissistic leaders experience more and longer wars. Coupled with religious righteousness & fervor we arrive at a flash point of where fuel meets the igniter. The lack of ambition, alternative thinking, creative strategies, zen ways to unbind the mind as humans suspended in misconception & nationalism, existential accept their fate as if inevitable, aided by the war press, war profiteers, & xenophobe monetizers.
