A Prayer Cycle: Path To Zero

A Prayer Cycle: Path To Zero is a collection of music produced by celebrated composer Jonathan Elias that features a stunning array of world-renowned musicians and activists. Proceeds from the record will be donated to Global Zero, an international organization dedicated to nuclear disarmament.

"Path to Zero is a classically influenced set of world prayers, inspired by the survival of hope in a world living under the shadow of the nuclear threat. As an artist leaving a legacy to my children, it's my prayer that they will be able to succeed in recognizing and changing the path we have chosen for the world, even if we cannot," says Elias.

The CD is an eclectic mix of music with a sweeping number of influences from all over the world and across multiple genres - classical prayer/devotional music, spoken word, vintage radio samples, rock and more. The CD features over a dozen different artists, multiple languages and musical genres. Contributors include Sting, Robert Downey Jr., Sinead O'Connor, Serj Tankian, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Afro-pop singers Salif Keita and Angelique Kidjo, Jon Anderson of Yes, Lilli Elias and Pakistan's Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Elias was able to nab an unreleased recording of Jim Morrison reading a rare poem through a connection with the late producer of The Doors, Paul Rothchild.
