The Bird Tribe

The Bird Tribe was the first "client" taken in by Phoenix Studios. Actually, Phoenix Studios was created by the man behind The Bird Tribe, Jim Moore.

Jim was taught piano in his pre-teens by his mother, a long-time pianist, and then played trombone for eight years in elementary and high school, in the orchestra and marching band, before trading it in for an acoustic guitar when he went off to college (University of Kansas) to major in aerospace engineering in 1963.

He reveals that as a teenager he would sneak into his church and play rock 'n roll on the church organ when no one was around. Later, at the University of Kansas, he discovered the music rooms with their organs and pianos and spent more of his time there than he did on engineering, even though he managed to design a unique spy satellite (Project OBSAT) that used Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) energy to detect nuclear tests, winning awards from Boeing Aircraft, Western Electric, the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and NASA. (Today he uses the same ELF technology in his music to enhance the body's natural healing properties.)

"In my early years," he says, "I dreaded the piano lessons. In high school, I was always jazzing up the arrangements because I thought they could sound better. It wasn't until years later when I returned to the keyboard that I began to appreciate the musical background my mother had introduced me to.

"I've always loved music as a listener, but never had the courage to stand up in front of people by myself and make music. As long as I was part of a band or it was a neighborly get-together on someone's country porch I could deal with it."

Today, after nearly a decade as producer of a popular TV series, "The Omega Report", cablecast to 3.5 million homes in three states, Jim records and mixes in his home studio in his spare time. He closed down the show in 1999 to move to the country. He enjoys soundtrack and New Age music and creates only instrumentals at this point.

After producing 5 albums in 2002, he recorded "In Search of the Bird Tribes" (2004)shown in its entirety in the videos below.

His latest is "Beyond Atlantis" - a video is also shown below.

Altogether The Bird Tribe has produced at least 24 albums over six years.

"I loved putting together the musical video intros to the Omega Report show," he says. "To me, that was the best part about it ... and people liked it. They even asked me to put together a whole show made up of nothing but the intros and credits. I met some great people, like Joe and Terrie Dansereau and the late Mickey Newberry, one of the music industry's legends, as a result of that show."

He was heavily influenced by Pink Floyd and Rick Wakeman, as well as a long string of artists from all genres going back to the 1950s - "more than I could begin to list here." The first concert he attended was a Beatles' concert in Kansas City in 1963.

Today he works with other musicians and publishing companies, creating their websites, CD album covers and their music videos, as well as helping unsigned artists get their songs and albums before the public on the Internet, where they can control and sell their own products.

In addition, he is an award-winning web designer, a writer of both fiction and non-fiction, a sometime political activist and consultant, gardener, carpenter/handyman at home.

He has also won several international awards from his peers for his web design, and was for many years a well-known journalist, reporter, editor, publisher, founder of Modern People magazine and syndicated columnist with National Features Syndicate, where he did ground-breaking research into areas of mind and weather control, political assassinations (JFK, RFK and MLK), and political cover-ups and scandals.
