This concept album is to be the first commercially viable album of the Southern Time Band. 'Lost in Love No More' also serves as the overture album to the cinematic musical docudrama, the 'Southern Time Tetralogy.' Both the album and the docudrama tell the story of how one HIV-positive man's searching for love connects to the broader journey of humanity. How we've fallen into deep holes, and of how we might get back up again.
'T,' the lead singer of the Southern Time Band and the composer/scriptwriter of the tetralogy was diagnosed with HIV in 1996. He was studying classical cello in Germany. He then returned to Vancouver and began writing songs in 1997 with the hope that, with whatever time he had left, he should use his musical talents to make a positive difference in our world.
In 2005, T produced a multi-media stage production of 'Southern Time' which ran for seven nights in Vancouver, BC. The Southern Time story and T's searching for love were not over though. Southern Time shows how T contracted HIV, what living with it has been like for him, and of the social, environmental, and spiritual insights he gained because of living with HIV.
In 2009, T nearly died from AIDS. He spent six months in the hospital, but over the next six years, he recovered, despite sustaining potentially permanent lower spinal cord damage.
In 2015, T returned to Toronto. Over the last four years, T has managed to find the members of the Southern Time Band, reconcile with the cello professor who infected him with HIV, and to finally find LOVE. He is going to be a father around Valentine's Day, 2020.
All that is missing now are the funds to make this dream and potentially world-changing fantastic work of art happen.
