It is true - our blue planet is an indescribably beautiful place, and we are merely visitors here in the last second of our cosmic calendar. Our show of respect for planet Earth, if not through music alone, can leave giant impressions upon the muddy marshes and plains to be preserved for eternity. Yosemite can be best described as a “Valley of Giants.” Its’ towering cliffs and awesome majesty leave millions breathless each and every year. One can only imagine the giant footprints left here as our ancestors marveled at the work created from millions of years of living earth. Join Mars Lasar as he journeys through space and time while capturing the reverence of this magical place, a musical portrait so amazingly beautiful it simply glows with love and respect for our home.
