This later style has since developed during several other distinct phases; from such works his 1979 Beatus Vir, to the choral 1981 hymn Miserere, the 1993 Kleines Requiem für eine Polka and his recent requiem Good Night.

Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti. Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici. The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.
This was 2010 - video compilation
This was 2010, a videosummary of the year 2010 showing all (or most) of the extraordinary footage shot that year. Viewer discretion is advised, but the human body is stronger than you would think. Many of the clips look shocking, where in reality nobody was seriously hurt (cfr. collapsing bridge at the end). All content from vkmag.com. First song is I need Air by Magnetic man. Second song is Oh by Boys Noize in the A-Track remix. Enjoy.

Following the crowds in the sunshine from arrival, camping, exploring the art in the arena, all the way through to the headliners at night, this film brings a miniature feel to this huge festival. For more information about how it was done, please check the Aero Film blog post here: bit.ly Many thanks to Robbie and Tuna for operating the booms, and to everyone at Goldenvoice who helped me navigate the event to shoot."

Chasing the new 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia! Incredible sound!
Jorrik records the very first Ferrari 458 Italia in the Netherlands!! It just arrived yesterday morning! We drove on a highway in the Netherlands when a Ferrari 348 past us, so we decided to follow it and we came out at Kroymans (Ferrari/Aston Martin/Maserati) in Hilversum. In the garage we saw this great Ferrari 458 Italia, we waited half an hour and than it came out for a little testride! Please watch the whole vid, at the end can you see how incredible fast this new Ferrari is! Please rate and leave a comment about the vid or about the car :) Thanks for watching. Jorrik.
