"Without the belief and support of my loving
family and friends this could not have been possible."
~ Micco Bonterra
To my dearest soul brother from another mother, Steven Cravis …
Not only for your tireless work of refining things to my incredibly picky level,
but, also for your unfailing belief over the eons of growing to believe in myself.
And my soul sister, Shoshannah Born, … also from another mother.
Who unendingly praises me beyond what I deserve. Such a sister you are.
To my Madre, Maria, who passed on her love of music even though we knew
each other in this world only briefly. My love burns strong until we meet again.
To my precious daughters, ... Not a single day goes by that I don't miss you
with all my heart, my precious Christiana Isabella Hope.
And to Myriam, who brought me back to life ... and now I give it back to you.
This music is my heart's song to you ... the greatest muse of all my lifetimes.
There are no words, but …. thank you all, including those not mentioned.

To Alexa—your voice carried the final moments of our film… and gave them their soul. The final note that made it whole. Gratitude beyond words.
To Felicia—your voice remains among the most beautiful I have ever heard. Thank you beyond words… for your artistry, and for the insight you brought into a world I came to understand through you.
To Tina Guo—one of the most extraordinary and passionately expressive players in the world. Your cello brings my music to life. My deepest thanks.

To Carmen Areli—
Your voice is the living thread that weaves through this tapestry of songs,
meeting their power with equal depth and beauty. My deepest gratitude.
And last but not least, I bow to the masters whose work lit the path before me—
Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, James Horner, John Powell… and the many others
whose music helped shape my own.
This is just the beginning.
