The African American Presence During the Colonial Era in the Hopewell Valley Region

Directed / Edited - Charles Hickey "In New Jersey, as in most northern states, we have not been taught much, if anything, about the existence of slavery and the slave trade in this part of the United States. We have not been told how essential slavery was in the early development of this region and how it was an acceptable way of life. This webinar gives examples of what life would have been like for enslaved African Americans in the Sourland Mountain Region and the surrounding area of New Jersey."

"Good Morning, World" Trailer

Director / Director of Photography / Editor / Sound Design & Mixing by Charles Hickey | A trailer for the documentary "Good Morning, World", which followed the band The Soft Underground while they recorded their second album.

The Soft Underground is an alternative rock group that I've been active with since 2010. I'm a songwriter and take on guitar, keyboard and other instruments when recording. Here are some selections from our three albums, Anemoia (2019), Morning World (2018) and Lost in Translation (2015).

The Occhiolist Playlist is my self-produced podcast where I show some love to the more underground, under-appreciated, and off-kilter elements of my expanding music collection.

These are guided meditations by Anupa Mohan, an Ayurvedic practitioner, for her Anupanas brand featuring my own musical compositions.
