Global Peace Media hasn't added a story.

What would happen if you put your entire life on the line to get an idea across?  

Or a Melody?
Or a Sound?
Or a Story?

This is the question we need an answer to, and only with your help can we find it.

We are storytellers, and the past few years have given us all the reasons in the world to tell our stories. The road got tough to walk on, but with it, our ambition grew bigger.


So how do we stay afloat when the ground beneath us collapses?

We are creating a new experience that goes beyond music and lyrics. We invite you into our unique cinematic musical world, with a fresh approach to songwriting, unlike anything that exists today. Our story is that of war. Not of guns, nor politics, it's not a critique on war. We all know everything we need to know about war, or do we?

Each of us is fighting a personal war, and some of us are unlucky enough to have war knock on our roof. One thing has been constant in our history and it's War!
9 songs will tell 9 stories of war, and the toll it takes on our human relations.

Me. Home. Brother. War. Mother. Father. Child. Lover. You.
 

We are currently producing the Album, and we can only walk forward through your support.

You are what will keep us afloat!

We want to meet your expectations and ours.
Expressing our music and concepts in their best form requires us to find and to work with the best artists we can reach. So we approached 

  • 2 International Rock singers will be part of this production
  • 2 of the best Prog bassists in the business
  • An international drumming prodigy that is already turning heads everywhere he plays
  • 2 Guest guitar players that are beyond recognizable in the modern guitar world.
  • And of course, once again The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

In Ostura, we never felt comfortable doing what was expected from us as another "Lebanese band making non-Arabic music". We wanted to be among our heroes, the people we admire, and the people we look up to. We made "The Room" in 2018  (https://youtu.be/_2G_8nLgkLI)  and we had some of those heroes play with us, this never came from privilege, it came from a thirsty ambition to become somebody, and to hopefully become someone's hero one day.  Our previous work is a testimony to our quest for perfection and innovation. It demonstrates the barriers we are willing to break to get our message across.

Today the barriers are higher, but also, we got better.

The crowdfund will later be extended to fund 9 short films that will mirror the themes of each song on the album. By this, we achieve the perfect synergy of sound and visuals, something that has forever been at the core of the OSTURA experience.

The road is tough ahead, but to us, there is only one way, and that is to go forward. We want to be able to succeed in our goal, and maybe give Lebanon a sense of hope that art still lives.

With your help, we can break through into new creative grounds.


We invite you to be part of the adventure and help Produce our New Album.

 

Art still breathes here.

Despite the war.
