Peacevolution

An international endeavour to promote peace

The album is an endeavour that presents in music the aspirations of young people from across the world. The Limkokwing University is a showcase campus of international co-existence – a mini United Nations. Here more than 4,000 peoples from around the world learn, and work in pursuit of individual goals. In addition to acquiring academic qualifications students are provided opportunity to develop talent.

A first for Malaysia

This album has brought a core group together to lend their talent for a worthy cause. An album of this type – new age music – is a unique composition that combines dance and techno rhythms. It is also the first time such an endeavour was produced by a university college in Malaysia. The Malaysian backdrop of multi-racial co-existence provided the inspiration. The research, however, was extensive covering different styles and different cultures. Influences include Malay, Chinese, Indian, Middle-Eastern, African, European and Indo-Chinese.

Expression of hope

This is an album that carries many views of the world. It is about ideas, expressions and interpretations of what Mankind has done to this world. This is a maiden effort, crafted over many months, dependent on inspiration and perspiration for successful culmination. It is the work of young people, all graduates, students, faculty and staff of the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology.

A synopsis

This is an album that captures Man’s journey, both wondrous and disastrous. It starts with peace, lingers on war and the sorrow that destroys both nature and people. War and conflict that create poverty and divide people. But this is also an album that is full of hope. That Man will change and realise the dangerous route that he has embarked on, especially now with his weapons of mass destruction. There is hope that this awareness will lead to rehabilitation and recovery. There is hope that peace will be returned and both Man and Nature will live in harmony.
