Broadcasting around the world

EarthTV (www.earthtv.com) has developed the largest Live TV camera network worldwide. The WORLD LIVE video clips are shown on earthTV’s selected broadcasters and are distributed in more than 200 countries reaching daily more than 1 billion viewers. earth-TV is the most successful broadcasted program in Europe.

Since the release of the first earthgrooves album five years ago, we have been working a LOT. Writing and producing with many great artists on behalf of major movie and record companies took us around the world.

Wherever we were, we met up with resident musicians. Jamming, writing, recording or just hanging out with them was a tremendous source of inspiration: the inspiration that we needed to defi ne the concept of earthgrooves Vol 2 “the sound of earthTV”.

We wanted to take earthgrooves to another level, to create something fresh and new. Free from any commercial considerations we developed a kind of research project to find out what contemporary instrumental music could sound like. We based the production of this album on the symbiosis of many different musical infl uences and cultures. On this musical journey, we took roads that sometimes led to places we haven’t even dreamed of before.

More than 100 musicians from all over the earth were involved in this project. They come from places like australia and the Ukraine, Sweden and Morocco, cuba and Tunisia, New caledonia, the USA and many more countries.
