Suzanne Ciani Releases New DVD -- Galapagos: A Musical Odyssey

First Ever Music Video of the Galapagos - Edutainment for Children, Adults, Nature Lovers, Eco-travelers and Animal Enthusiasts. Seventh Wave Productions, the independent label of award-winning composer Suzanne Ciani, proudly announces the release of a stunning new DVD, Galapagos: A Musical Odyssey, the first ever music video of the Galapagos. Shot in hi def on location by naturalist videographer Robert Grimstone, the production features up-close images of the exotic wildlife of this pristine paradise, together in harmony with Ciani’s enchanting music. Equally shot underwater and on land,

the DVD features 11 entertaining and educational music videos.

“Never before has the magic, richness and vitality of nature's most important evolutionary laboratory been captured so brilliantly with film and music,” says Donald Johanson, Discoverer of Lucy and Founding Director of the Institute of Human Origins. He continues, “This engaging film will leave you forever changed.”

“I was fortunate enough to be invited to visit the Galapagos islands on a week-long boating expedition and had the further good fortune to meet naturalist guide Robert Grimstone,” says Ciani. “This DVD video is the result of our collaboration to bring you a marriage of image and sound: exquisite HD images created by a cinematographer with a deep understanding of the wildlife he is filming, and my music, which has always been inspired by nature and which underscores the personalities and movements of these exotic creatures. It often seems if as if the animals are moving to the music!”

The Galapagos Islands are considered one of the world’s last pristine paradises. They sit astride the equator line in the Pacific some 1,000 kilometers west of Ecuador, their sovereign country. The islands were named for their most striking resident, the giant tortoise, which on some of the islands resembles the raised front of a traditional riding Spanish saddle, a galapago.
