Animal Rights and Conservation
My greatest passion is the love of nature & all things wild.
Our disconnection with the natural world is fueling its destruction and accelerating the extinction of our precious wildlife.
We must advocate for wildlife conservation, the protection of wild lands and habitats, and for the humane treatment of animals.
Mankind must return to connection and harmony with our fellow creatures and the living Earth.
Voice of the Animals
We are living in a garden with a billion diverse beings blooming in a diversity of forms.
A majestic cacophony of all living things sings the song of life. Even a grain of sand can sing the history of eons of life on Earth, beginning in the deep blue world: a mesmerizing intelligence in perpetual motion, the ocean. Each living creature has meaning and purpose. The Earth itself is alive and has a voice.
I wrote the music of Voice of the Animals to honor all of nature’s voices. My music gives expression to these unique and irreplaceable beings. The Voice of the Animals confronts the devastation of all that beauty, and the trembling terror felt even by the trees.
From the world of tiny insects to the watery world of the pink river dolphin, even to the mighty lion and elephant, they are calling us to reclaim our connection and remember that we are not just spectators. We are the hope and promise for safeguarding the natural world into the distant future.
Climate Music Project
The Voice of the Animals is a Climate Music Project featuring the music of Scarlet and current climate data presented by top climate scientists.
This work envisions a “win-win” scenario, where humanity successfully combats climate change while preserving species through reforestation and rewilding.
The Voice of the Animals video presents the causes and extent of deforestation, and prospects for reversing it.
The Climate Music Project combines climate science with music to inspire and facilitate action on the climate crisis.
The project’s goal is for humanity to return to harmony and peaceful coexistence with all life on earth.

Angel Force USA
The mission of Angel Force USA is to raise awareness about the military suicide epidemic and promote suicide prevention and mental health awareness. They aim to “Stop SuiSilence” through education, engagement, and entertainment.
Suicide claims over 45,00 American lives each year.
Veterans continue to be disproportionately affected, with 17 to 18 suicides per day, with some studies estimating up to 44 when accounting for overlooked cases.
Each death leaves behind an estimated 135 people profoundly impacted – families, friends, and communities forever changed.
Angel Force USA is calling for September 25 to be designated as National Stop SuiSilence Day. This resolution calls on all Americans to step up, speak out, and take action to break the silence and end the stigma that keeps too many people from getting the help that they need and deserve.
The World Peace Violin
The McCollum Foundation is dedicated to creating a better world. Our mission is to create world peace on a universal scale through promoting a meta-narrative which establishes everyone and everything as equally sacred and essential, all sentient and non-sentient beings as family, and all needs, dreams and desires being met by empowering individuals and organizations to live this narrative. We believe this can be achieved through fostering inter-faith understanding and cooperation, and ending religious discrimination, for all spiritualities offer wisdom. Therefore, all people of the world should be honored as brothers and sisters.
The World Peace Violin serves as a powerful metaphor for both the beauty and diversity of our planet and for the successful integration of its religions, cultures, and people. It is bringing peace to the world.
