OCULUS ::
Grammy nominated musician/video artist Paul Speer releases his latest CD/DVD project entitled Oculus. As one of the architects of the multi-platinum selling video albums Natural States and Desert Vision, he traveled down a different path on this release. That path lead to several locations in Italy: Rome, Florence, the Italian Riviera, Tuscany, and Sicily.  The Pantheon's Oculus (the opening on top of the rotunda) offers a portal to the open sky. This music video transports one through the Oculus and on to a remarkable visual journey, giving the viewer a unique look at Bella Italia. Shot in Cinema Verite style, it is a work of art that pays homage to the beauty and history of one of the most enchanting places in the world.  Paul composed a modern instrumental soundtrack (mixed in 5.1 surround sound) for each piece that evokes an extraordinary mood, which takes the viewer deep into each location for a consummate audiovisual experience.  For more info and interview requests, contact paulspeermusic@aol.com.
