At the beginning of this project, Dr. McArthur asked if we could take an old record and make it a seed for new things.
Now we're excited to begin to share The HIDDEN Project, starting with the piece – and the film about the piece – that served as a bridge between the past and now.
HOMAGE
A short film reflecting on the nature of Transcription, Time, and Transformation – and how a musical mentor's honoring of Bach and Poulenc became a very personal Homage from John.
It seemed fitting to release HOMAGE on Valentine's Day, with this dedication from John:
"Valentine’s Day is and always can be a day when we express our deep love and gratitude for those in our lives – not exclusive to life partners, but also family, friends, and those friends who have become our family…and even to ourselves, for self-care and self-love are important gifts of gratitude we offer to ourselves.
It is in this spirit of deep gratitude and love that I dedicate this 2024 Valentine’s Day release of the short film, 'HOMAGE,' to my mother, Enid J. McArthur (November 22, 1925 - March 30, 2015), who I’ve loved from the moment our eyes first met until the moment our eyes met for the last time."
You can watch HOMAGE on The HIDDEN Project page and on YouTube
