Star Pieces is a neo-myth with a unique format – a graphic novel with a music soundtrack! The story creates a culture of health (the HEARTS mission) by fantasizing a path to World Peace. The time is the near future, the world is suffering from war, famine, disease, and climate change. Meanwhile, some of the goddesses and gods work with mortals to create a Ribbon of Peace to wrap around the world; at the same time, Venus, Goddess of Love and an avatar of women, gets in all kinds of trouble. In the end she saves the day and…World Peace is created!
How does a comics musical work? The music soundtrack will be accessible on the internet via a device, such as a phone, tablet or computer. As you read the words and drawings of the story, an indicator tells you each time a new song begins. You click on your device for that specific song track and listen, while reading the song lyrics and their illustrations. When that song track ends you continue reading the graphic story until the next song is indicated. You can also enjoy the graphic novel without listening to the music.
Illustrations by Pamela Gerke are completed while recording the songs that accompany the story is well underway with amazing musicians in the Seattle, WA area. We are currently seeking funding support for this professionally recorded soundtrack. See our DONATE page and please help us realize this original work of art – and world health!
