DOWNLOAD GREAT MUSIC BY MICHEL MONTECROSSA FROM: www.MP3.com/michelmontecrossa It was 5000 years ago when Rock ‘n’ Roll began with the ecstatic chants of mantric-tantric shamana-songs all over this planet. Oracle-priestesses, sages, medicinwomen, vedic rishis high on fusing left-right-hemisphere brainpower for full-life-expression of the sensual and suprasensual. Unity of consciousness everywhere: Atlantean cosmology, the vibratory songs of the stars of druids, Native-American, Australian, Maya and Egyptian cultures preserving the link to superearth in the subtle physical, immortal origin of man, origin of music and wordenergy. Power of paradiseconsciousness sweeping over the Pacific and Mediterranean worlds with happiness and beauty-laughter of the naked body joined by song and dance of the Eurasian-Arabic delightbliss and the deep pounding blood of the African continent. 20th Century: after a frustrating period of left-hemisphere brain-domination and its feardriven control-hysteria, culminating in sexdeprived fascism, totalitarism and brainwashspirituality the adventurers of consciousness and joy, the poets, artists and anarchists of sound thirst again for the sap of erotic right-brain-hemisphere mother-female universal experience, unfathomable, life-giving, nonlinear, all-creating and aim at the rebirth of the holistic left-right fusion of man’s brainpower for liberation of his cosmic and evolutionary soulpotential. The poet and mystic Sri Aurobindo together with the artist and consciousness-liberationfighter Mira Alfassa enter the arena along with the comrads and stars of the conquest like Walt Whitman, Rimbaud, Ernest Hemingway, T. S. Elliot, Kerouac, Dylan Thomas, the Beat Poets, painter-movie-artists like Picasso, Dalì, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Luc Godard, Andy Warhol, singer-poets like Robert Johnson, Blind Willy McTell, Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Lord Buckley, Ray Charles, all of them driving with electronical mediapower on the holistic stream of new Rock ‘n’ Roll with lightspeed opening the doors to unprecedented ranges of consciousness and perception. 20th Century Final Round: writer-poets-psychic-scientist-visionaries like Aldous Huxley, Albert Einstein, Buckminster Fuller, C. G. Jung, Tagore, Marshall McLuhan, Timothy Leary, Paolo Soleri, Charles M. Schulz and Allen Ginsberg together with rock-singer-actor-artistsstatesmen like Françoise Hardy, Frank Zappa, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Michail Gorbatshov, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, Gene Roddenberry, Gilbert Shelton and Bob Dylan define the new and challenging breakthrough-perspectives of planetary rockculture. 21st Century Quantum-Jump: CyberRocker Michel Montecrossa extends it all into the cosmic love-freedom worlds of the new millennium, crossing all borders, a futuristic Prometheus bringing the cellular high-energy brainexpansion-fire-beat from the immortals. He makes new fusions, new powers effective expressing themselves in the corresponding global focal point vibrant with the new millennium awareness: Mirapuri - the City of Peace and Futureman where he lives and works with his band The Chosen Few and where every year the Spirit of Woodstock Festival takes place. MICHEL MONTECROSSA – CYBERSINGER-POET-DIGITALARTIST AND VOICE FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING TIMES CREATED THE NEW STYLE CYBER ROCK, INCLUDING BOTH: SONG- AND MEDITATIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. HE IS A DRIVING FORCE FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW AND HE BRINGS MUSIC FOR THE WHOLE WORLD: FUTURISTIC, COMMITTED, CONCERNED, UNIQUE, CLOSE TO THE HUMAN CONDITION. MICHEL MONTECROSSA, WORLD-CITIZEN AND WORLDTRAVELLER IS THE RARE EXAMPLE OF A MOST AUTHENTIC, CREATIVE AND COMMUNICATIVE SONGWRITER. THE GENIUS OF HIS INDOMITABLE SPIRIT IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVE, LOOKING INTO THE FACE OF THINGS WITH THE HEART OF AN INDEPENDENT MAN. HE CREATED 1800 SONGS AND INSTRUMENTALS. MICHEL MONTECROSSA COMES WITH CYBERTECH, DRIVING GUITAR, PIANO, SYNTHESIZER, HARMONICA, A VOICE OF MANY MOODS AND AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF STYLES OF EXPRESSION. Mirapuri, founded by Michel Montecrossa and born from the ideals of Sri Aurobindo and Mira Alfassa is the space-age city for freefeeling people from all over the world to make real love, friendship and progress. Sri Aurobindo is the outstanding consciousness-researcher of our time and rankes among the greatest modern poets. In his major work, the epic poem ‘Savitri’, he expresses his message in breathtaking song-like poetry breaking the chains of limited vision and time, opening up the new feeling of life strong with love, joy and adventure where soul and nature, spirit and matter embrace each other and are one. Sri Aurobindo’s art is consiousnessexpanding as much as is the art, music and creative energy of Mira Alfassa, his companion on the way. Mira Alfassa, the inspiration behind Mirapuri, expresses herself through action, vision and progress power. Her message, paintings and drawings are universal in depth and mastery, covering a stunning range of meaning and revelation as does her music of intuition and inspiration. Embedded in this energizing, happy and world open environment of Mirapuri and stimulated by its artistic favour Michel Montecrossa, the american-european New Style CyberRocker started the Spirit of Woodstock Festival in August 1993. Since then every year a new spirit of music of courage and hope, sweetness of soul and strength of joy reaches out for the future. The Spirit of Woodstock Festivals are creative with the mighty dream of Unity, Love and Freedom. Guest musicians from all over the world come together to play and sing along with Michel Montecrossa and his band The Chosen Few and an enthusiastic audience for three days and nights every year in August. Since its inception in 1993 the Spirit of Woodstock Festivals at Mirapuri have developed into the leading Free Music Revolution Event with international flair and an inimitable atmosphere of Love and Joy.

DOWNLOAD GREAT MUSIC BY MICHEL MONTECROSSA FROM: www.MP3.com/michelmontecrossa È stato 5000 anni fa che il Rock’n’Roll è iniziato, con i canti estatici mantrico-tantrici degli shamani sparsi per tutto il pianeta: veggenti, sacerdotesse, saggi, stregoni, rishi vedici esibivano allora la loro abilità nel fondere armoniosamente i poteri dei due emisferi del cervello, il destro e il sinistro, per la piena manifestazione espressiva della vita sensoriale e sovra-sensoriale. Vi era, in quei tempi lontani, unità di coscienza ovunque: la cosmologia atlantidea, i canti vibrazionali delle stelle dei Druidi, la cultura degli Indiani d’America, degli Australiani, dei Maya e degli Egizi preservavano il legame con il mondo spirituale nell’origine immortale, fisico-sottile dell’uomo, della musica e della parola. Il potere della coscienza di paradiso riempiva il mondo dal Pacifico al Mediterraneo, con la felicità e l’allegra bellezza del corpo nudo che si univa al canto e alla danza, nella beatitudine e nella delizia degli Eurasia-Arabi e nei profondi ritmi di sangue martellanti del continente africano. 20° secolo: dopo un periodo frustrante di predominio dell’emisfero sinistro del cervello, con il suo isterico meccanismo di controllo dettato dalla paura, culminato nel fascismo sessuofobico, nel totalitarismo e in forme spirituali da lavaggio del cervello, gli avventurieri della coscienza e della gioia, i poeti, gli artisti e gli anarchici del suono di nuovo sono assetati della linfa dell’esperienza universale erotica madre-femminile dell’emisfero destro del cervello, insondabile, apportatrice di vita, non-lineare e creatrice. Essi aspirano alla fusione olistica destro-sinistra dei poteri del cervello umano per la liberazione del potenziale cosmico ed evoluzionistico dell’anima. Il poeta e mistico Sri Aurobindo, insieme a Mira Alfassa, artista e paladina della liberazione della coscienza, scende in campo con compagni di ricerca e stelle della conquista quali Walt Whitman, Rimbaud, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Elliot, Kerouac Dylan Thomas, i poeti Beat, artisti della pittura e del cinema come Picasso, Dalì, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Luc Godard, Andy Warhol e cantanti-poeti come Robert Johnson, Blind Willy McTell, Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Lord Buckley, Ray Charles, i quali, anche con il potere dei media elettronici, alla velocità della luce si sono diretti lungo la corrente olistica del Rock’n’Roll aprendo le porte a dimensioni di coscienza e di percezione senza precedenti. Ultimo giro del 20° secolo: scrittori, poeti, psicologi, scienziati, visionari come Aldous Huxley, Albert Einstein, Buckminster Fuller, C.G.Jung, Tagore, Marshall McLuhan, Timothy Leary, Paolo Soleri, Charles M. Sshulz e Allen Ginsberg e cantanti rock, attori, artisti, statisti come Françoise Hardy, Frank Zappa, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Michail Gorbatshov, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, Gene Roddenberry, Gilbert Shelton e Bob Dylan definiscono le nuove dirompenti e stimolanti prospettive della cultura rock planetaria. Salto quantico del 21° secolo: Il cantante cyber-rock Michel Montecrossa cerca di estendere tutto ciò nei mondi d’amore e libertà cosmica del nuovo millennio. Oltrepassando ogni confine, Prometeo proiettato verso il futuro, egli si ispira a ciò che è immortale per trarre da lassù l’alta energia delle cellule, il battito di fuoco dell’espansione del cervello. Realizza nuove fusioni, lavora su nuovi efficaci poteri che si esprimono in un punto focale corrispondente nel globo, vibrante della consapevolezza del nuovo millennio: Mirapuri, città della Pace e dell’Uomo del Futuro, dove egli vive e lavora con la sua band, The Chosen Few, e dove ogni anno ha luogo il festival Spirit of Woodstock. MICHEL MONTECROSSA - CANTANTE CYBER-POETA-ARTISTA DIGITALE E VOCE PER TEMPI CHE CAMBIANO RAPIDAMENTE HA CREATO UN NUOVO STILE, IL CYBER ROCK, CHE INCLUDE SIA CANZONI CHE MUSICHE STRUMENTALI MEDITATIVE. EGLI È DIVENTATO FORZA TRAINANTE DELLA MUSICA D’OGGI E DI DOMANI, CREANDO MUSICA DI OGNI GENERE PER IL MONDO INTERO: MUSICA FUTURISTICA, IMPEGNATA, PROFONDA, UNICA, VICINA ALLA CONDIZIONE UMANA. MICHEL MONTECROSSA, CITTADINO DEL MONDO E VIAGGIATORE, E’ UN RARO ESEMPIO DI CANTAUTORE TRA I PIU’ AUTENTICI, CREATIVI E COMUNICATIVI. IL GENIO DEL SUO SPIRITO INDOMITO E’ COSTANTEMENTE IN AZIONE E GUARDA DRITTO IN FACCIA LE COSE, COL CUORE DI UN UOMO INDIPENDENTE. HA SCRITTO 1800 FRA CANZONI E PEZZI STRUMENTALI. MICHEL MONTECROSSA UTILIZZA PER LE SUE CREAZIONI CYBERTECH, CHITARRA, PIANO, SINTETIZZATORE, ARMONICA, ESIBENDO UNA VOCE DALLE SVARIATE TONALITA’ E UNA GRAN QUANTITA’ DI STILI E MODI ESPRESSIVI. Mirapuri, fondata da Michel Montecrossa e nata dagli ideali di Sri Aurobindo e Mira Alfassa, è il luogo dell’era spaziale in cui persone dal libero sentire provenienti da tutte le parti del mondo possono realizzare il vero amore, la vera amicizia, il vero progresso. Sri Aurobindo è il massimo ricercatore della coscienza dei nostri tempi e tra i più grandi poeti moderni. Nella sua opera principale, il poema epico ‘Savitri’, egli esprime il suo messaggio in una poesia di musicalità stupefacente, rompendo le catene della visione limitata del tempo e aprendosi ad un nuovo sentire nei confronti della vita, fatto di amore, gioia, avventura e dove anima e natura, spirito e materia si abbracciano e diventano una sola cosa. L’arte di Sri Aurobindo è espansione di coscienza tanto quanto lo è l’arte, la musica e l’energia creativa di Mira Alfassa, la sua compagna nel cammino. Mira Alfassa, che ha ispirato Mirapuri, si esprime attraverso il potere di azione, visione e progresso. Il suo messaggio, i suoi dipinti e i suoi disegni rivelano la loro universalità, per la profondità e la perfezione, abbracciando una gamma sbalorditiva di significati e rivelazioni, così come accade anche per la sua musica intuitiva e ispirata. Immerso nell’ambiente energizzante, gioioso e aperto al mondo che caratterizza Mirapuri e stimolato dal suo amore per l’arte, Michel Montecrossa, cantante CyberRock euro-americano, ha fondato il festival Spirit of Woodstock di Mirapuri, nell’agosto del 1993. Da quella data, ogni anno, un nuovo spirito di musica, coraggio e speranza è stato lanciato verso il futuro, nella dolcezza dell’anima e nella forza della gioia. Tutti i festival Spirit of Woodstock esplicano la loro forza creativa in direzione del possente sogno dell’Unione, dell’Amore e della Libertà. Per tre giorni e tre notti, musicisti provenienti da ogni parte del mondo si riuniscono ogni anno la prima settimana di agosto, per suonare e cantare insieme a Michel Montecrossa e al suo gruppo The Chosen Few dinanzi a un pubblico entusiasta. Fin dal suo inizio nel 1993, lo Spirit of Woodstock Festival a Mirapuri si è caratterizzato come un grande Evento di Musica Libera di sapore internazionale e con un’inimitabile atmosfera di Amore e di Gioia.

DOWNLOAD GREAT MUSIC BY MICHEL MONTECROSSA FROM: www.MP3.com/michelmontecrossa Rock ‘n’ Roll begann vor 5000 Jahren überall auf diesem Planeten mit den ekstatischen Klängen mantrisch-tantrischer Schamana-Lieder: Orakel-Priesterinnen, Weise, Medizinfrauen, vedische Rishis high auf Verschmelzung der linken und rechten Gehirnhälfte-Power für vollständigen Lebensausdruck des Sinnlichen und des Übersinnlichen. Überall war Einheit des Bewusstseins: atlantäische Kosmologie, Sternenschwingungs-Songs der Druiden; indianische, australische, maya und ägyptische Kulturen hielten die Verbindung zur übergeordneten Erde im feinstofflichen Bereich offen, dem unvergänglichen Ursprung des Menschen und Ursprung der Musik und Wortenergie. Die Kraft des Paradiesbewusstseins breitete sich über die pazifischen und Mittelmeerwelten mit Glücklichsein und Schönheitslachen des nackten Körpers aus, begleitet von Liedern und Tänzen der eurasisch-arabischen Wonne-Seeligkeit und dem tiefgründig wogenden Blut des afrikanischen Kontinents. 20. Jahrhundert: nach einem bedrückendem Zeitabschnitt übermächtiger Betonung der linken Gehirnhälfte und ihrer angstgetriebenen Überwachungshysterie die in sexunterdrückendem Faschismus, Totalitarismus und Gehirnwäschespiritualität ihren Höhepunkt findet, dürsten die Abenteurer des Bewusstseins und der Freude, die Dichter, Künstler und Anarchisten des Klanges erneut nach den Wassern erotischer Mutter-Weiblichkeit Universalerfahrung der rechten Gehirnhälfte, unergründlich, lebensgebend, nichtlinear, allschöpferisch und streben nach der Wiedergeburt der ganzheitlichen links-rechts Fusion der Gehirnkraft des Menschen um sein kosmisches und evolutionäres Seelenpotential freizusetzen. Der Dichter und Mystiker Sri Aurobindo betritt gemeinsam mit der Künstlerin und Bewusstseins-Freiheits-Kämpferin Mira Alfassa die Arena begleitet von Kameraden und Stars der Eroberung wie Walt Whitman, Rimbaud, Ernest Hemingway, T. S. Elliot, Kerouac, Dylan Thomas, die Beat Poets, Maler-Film-Künstler wie Picasso, Dalì, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Luc Godard, Andy Warhol, Sänger-Dichter wie Robert Johnson, Blind Willy McTell, Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie, Lord Buckley, Ray Charles, die alle mit elektronischer Medienpower auf dem holistischen Strom des neuen Rock ‘n’ Rolls voraneilen und mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit die Tore zu noch nie gekannten Bereichen des Bewusstseins und der Wahrnehmung öffnen. 20. Jahrhundert Endrunde: Schriftsteller-Dichter-Seelen-Wissenschaftler-Visionäre wie Aldous Huxley, Albert Einstein, Buckminster Fuller, C. G. Jung, Tagore, Marshall McLuhan, Timothy Leary, Paolo Soleri, Charles M. Schulz und Allen Ginsberg gemeinsam mit Rock-SängerSchauspieler-Künstler-Staatsleuten wie Françoise Hardy, Frank Zappa, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Michail Gorbatshov, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, Gene Roddenberry, Gilbert Shelton und Bob Dylan arbeiten die neuen und herausfordernden Durchbruchsperspektiven planetarischer Rockkultur aus. 21. Jahrhundert Quantensprung: CyberRocker Michel Montecrossa weitet alles in die kosmischen Liebe-Freiheitswelten des neuen Jahrtausend aus und überschreitet alle Grenzen: ein futuristischer Prometheus der den zellularen, hochenergetischen Gehirnerweiterung-Feuerrhythmus der Unsterblichen bringt. Er bewirkt neue Fusionen, setzt neue Kräfte frei, die sich durch den entsprechenden globalen Brennpunkt ausdrücken, der erfüllt ist von den Gewahrsein des neuen Jahrtausends: Mirapuri - die Stadt des Friedens und des Zukunftsmenschen in der er gemeinsam mit seinen Musikern The Chosen Few lebt und tätig ist, die Stadt in der jedes Jahr das Spirit of Woodstock Festival stattfindet.

Mirapuri, von Michel Montecrossa gegründet und aus den Idealen von Sri Aurobindo und Mira Alfassa hervorgegangen, ist die Weltraumzeitalter Stadt für Freifühlmenschen aus der ganzen Welt um dort Liebe, Freundschaft, und Fortschrittsfreude zu verwirklichen. Sri Aurobindo ist der bedeutendste Bewusstseinsforscher unserer Zeit und zählt zu den grössten Dichtern der Moderne. In seinem Hauptwerk der epischen Dichtung ‘Savitri’, vermittelt er seine Botschaft in atemberaubender, liedähnlicher Dichtung und durchbricht die Schranken begrenzter Vision und Zeit, um das neue Lebensgefühl zu erschliessen, das stark mit Liebe, Freude und Abenteuer ist, wo Seele und Natur, Spirit und Materie sich umarmen und eins sind. Sri Aurobindo’s Kunst ist ebenso bewusstseinserweiternd wie die Kunst, Musik und schöpferische Energie von Mira Alfassa, seiner Weggefährtin. Mira Alfassa ist die Inspiration, die hinter Mirapuri steht. Sie drückt sich durch Tat, Vision und Fortschrittskraft aus. Ihre Botschaft, Gemälde und Zeichnungen sind universal in ihrer Tiefgründigkeit und Meisterschaft und erschliessen, ebenso wie ihre Musik der Intuition und Inspiration, eine überwältigende Reichweite der Erkenntnis und Offenbarung. Umgeben von dieser lebensfrohen, glücklichen und weltoffenen Mirapuri-Atmosphäre und angeregt durch ihre künstlerische Dynamik hat der amerikanisch-europäische New Style CyberRocker Michel Montecrossa im August 1993 das Spirit of Woodstock Festival begonnen. Seither findet jedes Jahr ein neuer Musikimpuls der Kühnheit und Hoffnung, der Süsse der Seele und Stärke der Freude seinen Zukunftsausdruck. Das Spirit of Woodstock Festival ist schöpferisch mit dem grossen Traum des Einssein, der Liebe und Freiheit. Gastmusiker aus aller Welt kommen jedes Jahr im August um gemeinsam mit Michel Montecrossa und seiner Band The Chosen Few während drei Tagen und Nächten für ein begeistertes Publikum zu spielen. Seit seiner Gründung 1993 hat sich das Spirit of Woodstock Festival zum führenden Free Music Revolution Ereigniss mit internationalem Flair und einem unnachahmlichen Ausdruck von Liebe und Freude entfaltet.

FESTIVAL ARTIST 2001 Music for me is life it is like a fire, burnin' strong and hot. The dream that touches deep in the heart and the energy, that turns you on and makes you happy and feel good. It's great to play wild rock 'n' roll and to dive into atmospheres of romantic or space-rock songs. As a singer I try to express the dream of love and moments of experiences of life. Music is for me like a key, it brings in new ideas, awakens hidden feelings or pushes you simply higher. So wild, so sweet our music, living for love, for love alone. Music of freedom, life, delight and a wide intensity of a future, already here singing with magic, with our Rock 'n' Roll Dream. It's music of Mirapuri, of a dream that became reality. Exploding bliss, emerging waves of ardent energy, ever expanding consciousness, fire-rock-smile of life. All songs I sing, I sing for Michel, my love, my best friend and all I love. All our songs are about our life of love and freedom. We are rockin' fighters, we are lovin' rebels of a future of endless bliss.

They had the idea of a Country Music band with a female lead singer, strong musicians, and the ability to kick country butt!!! The original members were Rhythm Guitarist Lead Vocalist Jay Tucker, Lead Guitarist Tom Morse, Drummer Paul Morin, Bassist John French, and of course, Lead Vocalist Brooke Starr. At the beginning of 2000, the group added new Bassist Chris Garcia and Drummer Brian Burton. The newest members have added a spark and energy to the group and have certainly shaken up the female fans! Looking ahead, the future is very bright for this group of musicians They are currently the ‘Rising Star’ Band of the Year for the New Hampshire Country Music Association, and have competed in both the True Value Country Showdown and the Vermont State Battle of the Bands.

I started early playing guitar and soon began to develop my own musical ideas. Continuing like this I fortunately had the chance to join Michel Montecrossa's band 'The Chosen Few' as a guitar-player. Here the speed of musical development began to increase. I took up singing and writing songs, which I perform together with the band on our concerts. For me music is original when it springs direct from life and I refuse to limit myself to any musical category. What I sing and play are my thoughts, feelings and dreams. Thus making music connects me to the people and lifeenvironments that are the theme of my songs. Music is to pass on a great dream and my songs are the way how I want to pass it on.

We started in 1998 with a new more progressive chapter of Dolores. Not long after, in May 1999, we recorded our first demo 'Secret Game' which included five songs. There had been a few changes in the band and afterwards we did several successful radio promotions in the Slovak Republic. In April 2000, we returned back to the studio to record five more songs. In the meantime, we have been playing concerts and preparing new material in a home studio.
