Mission Statement:
Throughout time, music has been fundamental in the development of movement, dance and art. Like a painting, music creates a picture in the mind with familiar themes that signify monumental moments in our lives. They remind us of love, pain and joy which are seared into out memories. Eventide Music Productions goal is to develop and experiment with musical themes of different cultures, yet utilizing modern technologies with the raw organic textures of traditional instruments. Eventide Music Productions believes that longevity is in producing timeless, high quality music; music without borders or boundaries, sound without limitation, evolution without restrictions. Welcome to Eventide Music Productions.

About EMP :
Eventide Music Productions and Grey Wall Studios is an independent record label located in Highland, California, specializing in distribution and production in the Eclectic, World, Electronic and Middle Eastern Dance genres. Our goal is to offer quality production in music and CD artwork, as well as fast and reliable service for our customers and distributors.

Eventide Music Productions was founded in 1995. At the time, I was just beginning to write Middle Eastern Dance music. As one might expect, I researched by listening to a lot of music in this genre. I was astonished at the extremely low level of production quality of many of the artists' music. Much of it sounded impassionate, with no levels, no peaks or valleys, with little depth. Many of the popular songs at the time were modern remakes that diminished the emotional impact of the original classic versions. The music seemed to be stuck in a particular place and time with little growth and movement. I was also disappointed in musicians who felt that they had to stay in this "traditional" role when it came to arrangement and quality.

We as musicians in this genre are a very small community; we should "up the ante" so to speak and better the quality in sound and performance for the sake of the continuation and longevity of the music. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the traditionalist, because they give us the seed to plant, but it is up to us how we nurture and grow the tree. However, if we could give the tree better nutrients and care to make a stronger and taller tree, why wouldn't we?

I founded Eventide Music Productions, to give myself and others a platform for the three X's: expression, experiment, and exploration-without borders or boundaries. I hope that people listen and understand that you don't have to put yourself in a box. Life is to explore and express.
