Chris Coles is one of Cleveland Magazine’s most interesting people and it doesn’t take long to understand why. In addition to the Nine Lives Project and his work with the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, Chris joined us to present the Gleam Project.
The Gleam Project’s Love Deamon Song Cycle is a collection of songs inspired by Gaara, an anime character from the Naruto Universe. These songs are musical sketches of the emotions Chris Coles felt following Gaara's life arc from his birth to him embracing the darkness of the sand spirit living in him, to meeting Naruto and being confronted with an alternative to the darkness, and finally his road to redemption becoming one of the most beloved of his village.
