A World Anthem

Music producer John Guillot had a dream to create a world anthem but instead of penning it himself he let a computer do it. He inputted the 193 recognized national anthems into musical intelligence program that noted their similarities and tendencies lyrically, musically and rhythmically. After 5-years of work the result became a high-tech world anthem amalgam. Since the events of September 11th., the world anthem project went from a musical science experiment to an song of healing and coming together.

Guests:

John Guillot – creator and producer of the World Anthem
