Who we are

First if all Happy New Year to everyone reading this. Our fans, supporters and everyone else involved in the project are truly a blessing. We hope you've had a wonderful holiday season and wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012!

To start of the new year, let's get to know each other a little better. The David Hamilton Project team, starting with myself, would like to introduce ourselves to all of our supporters. We are of course available for any questions comments and suggestions.

I'm Kenneth Bereski II, the resident geek. I run a small Macintosh consulting firm (employing me, myself and I) with a focus on putting the clients first. I've got 10 years of experience in the IT sector, including 5 years of self employment here in south Florida, and almost 4 years as an Apple employee.

I grew up in the northeast, and attended Boston College, where I majored in Philosophy. Unfortunately they didn't offer and majors in being a BC Eagles fan... While in school I attended football, basketball and hockey games in 21 states (and have been to 7 additional since).

I'm also a very active bicycling advocate ( bikeanotherday.com ). I never got a drivers license, and honestly don't really have any desire or need to do so. My bike gets me everywhere I need to go and just as fast if not faster. It's also environmentally friendly, affordable and healthy. I've got no issues cycling to clients 20 miles away, in fact I enjoy it. It allows me to integrate my fitness with my work day, rather than coming up with excuses to be lazy at the end f a long day. Unfortunately south Florida is not very bike friendly, so I do what I can to help change that. Eventually this area will become a cycling utopia, after all we've already got year round beautiful weather and nice flat terrain. It's perfect, if only cyclists were respected on the roads.

In case you didn't figure it out already, I'm quite passionate about everything I do. I don't believe there is any point in doing something if you aren't willing to give it your all and don't believe in yourself. So that's why I'm here today

The David Hamilton Project is truly unique, and I believe an exciting opportunity to be involved and make a difference in the world. I'm very much looking forward to meeting many of the projects fans and supporters and sharing in the success of the project with all of you

Regards,

Ken

Rule out pornography

There is a movie that my friend recently told me about called Middle Men. It's the story of the  beginning of on line pornography and how explosive it became. When I discussed this with my Apple genius and advisor Ken and suggested that we could sell more David Hamilton tickets by incorporating this type of attraction he told me what I already suspected......keep it clean. So that's the end of that idea. But , the movie was good and an eye opener in a way.
 Being a zoology major prior to entering dental school, I viewed the human condition from the  "we are all animals " perspective. This is good in away because it is a realistic and scientific view of the subject. It explains things that are difficult to understand on a more sophisticated and socially acceptable level.
So, rather than explore the more intrinsic and basic human condition, I will return to the subtle beauty of love songs and other human emotional software.

Romancing for fun or...

Before the Clouds Break Through. New encounters and romantic relationships are very exciting. But where do they lead ? I find it interesting how many sexual partners Carrie Bradshaw has had on Sex in The City.......and leading to what. Maybe a  Big breakthrough and happiness ( with or without children ).
But, most times, I've found through my earlier years that the fun and freedom to move on sustained my youthful pleasures. So, check out the song Before the Clouds Break Through on iTunes (or stream for free here) because there are things that can't be said except through a song.

Outrageous music and performance

How outrageous does an act have to be today to be successful ?
First there was the suit and tie performer  and then the tie came off. Then  the shirt collar loosened.
Then the shirt came off. Ultimately there was Jim Morrison's alleged exposure.
When you question  this evolution in music you run the risk of being considered conservative or uptight.
Well, that may be true but maybe there is an ebb and flow regarding artistic tastes....as there should be.
So, there is no right or wrong.
So what am I saying......Regardless of the performance, it's art. And there are two components to art. One is the performance  and its effect on the audience. The other is the business of art and there always has been and always will be a business of art.
The David Hamilton Project is revolutionary in terms sharing the business with the patrons or fans.
It's mutual FUN.  

Judging talent

I believe that we all need a way to express our true feelings. Singing and performing are great ways to do this. It doesn't matter how it sounds. What matters is the fun of doing what feels good. So, when I see  TV shows that judge and criticize I am a bit taken back. I know its popular but it just bothers me.
There is a big difference between wanting to sing for singings sake and wanting to make money in show business. People and children in particular should be encouraged to sing, to feel and to enjoy doing it  .
It's difficult to verbalize feelings, so please take a listen to the song Just For Me...that says it  a lot better.

Feelings

No matter what our  age is, we all started off as children. We cried, we laughed and we were pretty unaffected by social protocol. Then we eventually grew up, matured and kind of learned how to still have fun within the confines of the social system around us. But,  deep inside, we still had our feelings. It seems that when we hear good songs or see good art, this brings out those hidden feelings again...and we tend to live again and feel again. That's important and that's a lot  of what the music of the David Hamilton Project is all about.

From the textbook of Orthodontics

"Growth in size is accompanied by growth in internal structure, enabling the 8 year old child to function mentally at nearly the same level as an adult." from Textbook of Orthodontics by Samir E. Bishara

So what this is basically saying, is that an 8 year old has the brain capability to mentally function as an adult.  The point being, that what these children are exposed to influences them (sometimes for a lifetime), when they are in reality perfectly capable of thinking on their own.  So we are influenced by the school system, by our friends and by the music we listen to.  I think we are basically all good people, however negative influences can distract one from being a positive influence in society.

I was doing my Sunday walk on South Beach, when I noticed a driver of a car having an argument with some kids on skateboards.  I watched for a few minutes and when the scene escalated I ran across the street and yelled to hold off, and basically prevented a fist fight.  Everyone went their own way and I continued walking.  I wonder in todays media thirst for exciting videos how many people might have recorded the confrontation, and rather than preventing it, root for a fight.  I think we need to do more of the right thing and I try to express this in the music that I've created for the David Hamilton Project
