1 GIANT LEAP/'My Culture"/"Braided Hair" releases for the UK and US.

1 GIANT LEAP

1 Giant Leap is Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman. CD, a DVD, a film and snapshot of our planet at the turn of the 21st century. Starring Asha Bhosle, Neneh Cherry, Robbie Williams, Brian Eno, Dennis Hopper, Baaba Maal, Tim Robbins, Michael Stipe, DJ Swamp, Kurt Vonnegut.

08/04/2002

It is increasingly rare to come across a project that almost defies description, where pigeon holes no longer make any sense.

1 Giant Leap whilst pushing the points of new media and spectacle to the limit and making imaginative leaps of creativity also plays host to a whole range of collaborators and conspirators: MICHAEL STIPE, KURT VONNEGUT, ASHA BHOSLE, DENNIS HOPPER, BRIAN ENO, BAABA MAAL, TOM ROBBINS, MAXI JAZZ FROM FAITHLESS, NENEH CHERRY, THE MAHOTELLA QUEENS, SPEECH FROM ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, EDDI READER AND LINTON KWEZI JOHNSON.

To confirm the ambition of the project 'My Culture' featuring Maxi Jazz and Robbie Williams is released on 8th April 2002 in the UK whilst the upcoming single in the US, 'Braided Hair' featuring Neneh Cherry and Speech is also out on April 8th. Both singles look set to be hugley enjoyed precursors to a summer of sassy and upbeat global love.

1 Giant Leap are JAMIE CATTO AND DUNCAN BRIDGEMAN who first met at a mutual friends house in Brighton, England. The two found that they shared a love for two albums in particular: DAVID BYRNE AND BRIAN ENO'S 'MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS' AND PETER GABRIEL'S "PASSION-MUSIC FOR MARTIN SCORSESE'S FILM "THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST" The two talked music, technology, trave and the universe and their mutual obsession with travelling the world recording and filmimg as many crodd-media icons from as many different areas as they could: music, art, literature, philosophy, science, seeking out (as in their own words) 'the unity in the diversity' . Fortunatley for them, Palm Pictures supremo, Chris Blackwell shared their vision and offered the pair a contarct.

Getting everybody else involved, however, meant an avalanche of cold-calling, not that interest was difficult to muster. Dennis Hopper was so enthused by the project that he immediately got on the phone to Harvey Keitel and Meryl Streep to get them involved.

Fusing spoken word, sounds, rhythms and images from across the world, 1 Giat Leap is a tasteful and legitimate celebration of the bio-diversity of art's gallery of lost souls: musicians, storytellers, authors, thinkers, image-makers, film-makers with results that beautifully illustrate one clear enveloping message of unity.

CATTO AND BRIDGEMAN travelled the globe recording all the artists on digital equipment as the basis for a 12 chapter film and album. Each film chapter corresponds to a track on the album and explores some equally significant theme such as "MASKS", "DEATH", "" AND "BLASPHEMY".Having shot a whole bunch of footage from the streets of New York to the jungles of Ghana, the mountains of Nepal to the deserts of Rajssthan the film makes a compelling documentary and soundtrack to a crystalline moment in history that is now.

"My Culture" is the first single to be taken from the CD in the UK and features the unmistakable vocals of Faithless' front man and Brixton legend, Maxi Jazz, alongside unruly prince of pop Robbie Williams, who for once seems to dispense with the safe-bet irony of usual self-conscious bluff.

With Jamie being a founder member of Faithless, Maxi's involvement isknown to be no great surprise. In Robbie's case his involvement came towards the end of the project: "I was proud to be asked to contribute my very small part to what I think is going to be one of the greatest records this year - and the most profound".
