Elijah Sound is the founder and designer of 'AD 2013 Collection'.
Born in San Diego, CA in 1975 under the Dreamspell signature of Yellow Chrystal Human and the Astrological sign of Gemini. Baptized Christian with the name Darin Jeremy Moen. His blood lineage derives from Jewish, German, Norwegian, and Scotch-Irish ethnicities. Proud to be a native to America, Elijah invokes the spirit of his land and draws his inspiration from all ages and all cultures.

As a planetary alchemist with the elements that has traveled the world living in 4 different countries, and moving beyond the fad of New Age and the old paradigm of religion, Elijah has discovered a Global Consciousness - a thread of truth that weaves all mythologies and history into its natural symbiotic relationship.

Elijah has been performing and making costumes all his life and has been in the garment industry for over 10 years.
Some of his designs has been featured on TV and soon on an upcoming Paramount Pictures' film. [Link]

Sound is currently living in Los Angeles, CA, where his 21st Century Electronic/Acid-Rock/Hip-Hop/Rap/Opera Feature Length Motion Picture is awaiting to be produced.
Elijah had this vision over 10 years ago which started with the Pop Singer Madonna and the clear intention of merging the commercial and underground world. The next 5 years Elijah downloaded his treatment which includes a all Pop Star cast and unites them with the ancient magic of the Tribal Fire Cirque.
Tribal Fire Cirque is Elijah's prayer-formance group, which invokes and embodies the stories of the ancient vedics as their inspiration for fire art. Elijah has harnessed this underground arsenal of artists and has produced and collaborated hundreds of shows internationally and has been one of the favorite chosen acts for Cirque Du Soleil Opening Nights.
The clothing design along side of his extensive training in dance and singing has prepaired him to bring this evolutionary film to the world.

2013 Production Team: SAMA SAMA

Elijah works with Sama Sama shop in the town of Ubud on the lovely island of Bali Indonesia. Bali is full of highly skilled artisans that love dedicate themselves to serving the Divine with everything they make with their hands.

Co-creation with God is our birthright sacred gift, and what the people at Sama Sama and Elijah recognize as a true offering and their purpose in life.

Sama Sama in Balinese means "Thanks you as well" as a common reply to "Thank you." Sama Sama is a family run company that after 17 years in the industry is still full heart.

2013 is also apart of the Sew it Forward collective. Sew It Forward is an international network of fashion designers whose intention is to make concerted efforts to adopt environmentally sustainable business practices wherever feasible. Through the uses of green energy, fair trade, recycling, resource sharing, and the support of responsible agriculture these businesses seek to raise the bar across a wide variety of pop-culture based industries, setting new trends in favor of eco-consciousness.

As a community of businesses Sew it forward agrees to:
• recycle, whenever possible.
• explore and implement green energy, wherever possible.
• support local, organic, eco-friendly farming, wherever possible.
• take a stand against waste and pollution, wherever possible.
• share pertinent information, wherever possible.
• be positive role models wherever possible.

The purpose of this agreement is to make a collective first step in achieving sustainability:
Visionary Arts Network Solutions "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

For many of us, the adoption of responsible and environmentally sound business practices is a seemingly unrealistic goal amidst the rigorous production chaos and survival agendas we face. We hope that by creating this agreement we can begin to open the doors to achieving these goals as a collective by 1) demonstrating exactly how simple it is to make many potent changes and 2) coming together to tackle the greater challenges.

For example, many designers in Bali have encountered the challenge of finding eco-friendly fabric to work with. Does that mean there is nothing to do? On the contrary! There can be no better time to spread information. The lack of organic, sustainable materials is a cry for the seeds of information to be spread.

Again, for those designers in Bali, environmental efforts are primarily in their nascent birthing stages. While it is more challenging to adpopt greening methods in a place like this, the whole situation call for a sort of new custom definition of "fair trade" pertinent to the garment industry and location of production, in alignment with but not limited to formal certification standards.

This is why Sew It Forward is so important, because it's as important to "be green" as it is to found green friendly systems, even if the latter option means you have sacrifice converting to 100% green to do it. For example, you can be in California recycling at home, eating organic, and buying your electricity from a solar farm vs. you could be in a remote location eating the best you can, recycling when it's available, and forming a city's first local educational program. At this level, these are the realities we have to come into balance with.
