When I read Vidya Sury’s stirring piece, A Cup of Peace, and Damyanthi Biswas’ compelling post, Is There Hope in 2014?, both written for a fantastic cause, I knew I wanted to do my bit for this too. It’s another thing that I lost my heart to that country when I spent almost a month there in 1994. The people of the Philippines will always be close to my heart.
Composers For Relief Supporting The Philippines as explained by Samantha Redstreake Geary here is a fantastic collaboration of music composers and writers collaborating to raise funds for relief to the victims of the Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) that hit the Philippines in November 2013. The details of the music album can be found here.
Today is the cover reveal of the e-book anthology that was inspired by this music. This beautiful collaborative effort is called ‘Beyond The Binding‘.
Here’s the blurb :
Embark on an exciting journey “Beyond the Binding” of the imagination with 29 authors from across the globe, in a groundbreaking collaboration where music meets fiction. Surrender to soaring compositions as they surge through the veins of every story, capturing the triumphant pulse of the notes in heart pounding sci fi, enchanting fantasy and gripping slices of realism.
All proceeds of the Composers for Relief album and Companion Collection ebook will go to Gawad Kalinga (“give care”) and GVSP (Gualandi Volunteer Service Programme), to support the relief efforts for victims of the deadliest natural disaster in Philippines’ history, Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan).
The e-book is available from Amazon, Amazon UK, iTunes, B&N, Kobo, Sony, Diesel & Smashwords.
The Composers for Relief album is available on ITunes, Amazon, CDBaby & Spotify. Click on picture above for Amazon link.
Let’s do our bit for the victims of Haiyan.
Thank you, thank you, Corinne! So generous of you to post this! 😀 I agree there’s something very sweet about the Philippines. I am privileged to contribute to this book!
Love, Vidya

Oh yes, I do love music and strangely grew up in a home where Western music was all we heard!
