Bersarin Quartett, Digitonal, Various - Hope

Hope:
Fluid Audio kick starts it’s catalogue with ‘Hope’, a compilation sprawling across 13 tracks
from established artists, Digitonal, Hol Baumann, Ishq, Bersarin Quartet and James Murray,
as well as up and coming producers, Field Rotation, Iambic, Snakestyle, Playb, Halogen and
Ben Beiny.
As suggested by its title, ‘Hope’, embodies a concept of positivity and the alleviation of strife
“through the creative translation of emotion into sounds sent to soothe [and] images formed
to inspire”. Artists were asked to create compositions that reflected their interpretation of the
term Hope, producing varied yet cohesive results with a profound resonance. 50% of the
profits are donated to Toybox, a charity providing aid, shelter and support for homeless
children in Latin America, the majority of which are estimated a life expectancy of around
four years on the street.
Coupling all of this with the CD’s bespoke artwork and carbon neutral manufacture provides a
consumable and tangible product that serves to aid a constructive cause through the medium
of music.
The Vision That Inspired All Involved:
Although we are living in a world of injustice – where the rich get richer, while those in need
get left behind – there is often an inherent hope in those who suffer the most. Where people
have the least they value more, the simple things that others take for granted. While some
are disconnected from the true meaning of life, there are others who appreciate the beauty
and awe of the world and what is has to offer. In these souls is a spark of light that no
corrupt power can extinguish. Despite the negativity that we are all faced with in life, the
human spirit can always overcome. Whether this is in the innocent laughter of a child, the
compassion shown from one suffering human being to another, or through the creative
translation of emotion into sound, the joy of life is communicated all around us – we need
only be willing to open our hearts to it.
Some Facts:
An estimated 40 million children live on the streets of Latin America’s densely populated
cities (unicef).
Observers from our partner in Guatemala say that street children there have a life expectancy
of around four years on the street.
Unicef reported in 2004 that in Guatemala in the first 10 months of 2002, gangs or security
forces killed 408 children and youths, but most street children were killed by drive by
shootings.
