The multimedia adaptation, developed in collaboration with his daughter, Sidney Cullinan, elevates Footprint evenfurther. Sidney’s expertise in environmental storytelling brings a visual dimension that complements the audio by creating a synergy between sound and image. Her background in environmental studies and communications adds layers of meaning and aligns the piece with contemporary concerns about humanity’s impact on the environment.

I recently read “The Last Lecture,” which was so poignant… I thought a lot of you. Pausch’s energy and how he affected and influenced people, students, and colleagues reminded me of you.

Entitled 2025 Alive… The streaming soundtrack is a high-tech improvisation by himself and his daughter, acclaimed singer-songwriter Riley Max. It’s crazy and some avant-garde music.

In a little over 8 minutes, the song goes from ambient minimalism to lush and cinematic, mirroring the variety of emotions we experience on a daily basis.The experience is like nothing we have seen or heard before!Check out 2025 Alive now and be blown away.

Cory Cullinan has once again captured the imagination and creativity many of us feel but are unable to express.

From the first second, 2025 Alive feels like you’ve been released into an unfamiliar soundscape. It’s an eight-minute experimental track that builds slowly, with ethereal layers of synthesizers, electric guitars, and vocals. There are no lyrics per se, just one word: “Test,” which warps and fragments, just as reality has done in recent years.The production is completely immersive. Every nuance, every texture, seems to respond to a different emotional state: confusion, hope, anxiety, resilience.

You can hear how much he enjoys creating music, and that joy comes through in every moment.

Beneath the joy lies a story shaped by significant loss.In an era when therapy wasn’t readily offered—and teenage boys weren’t encouraged to talk about grief—Cory turned to music. Music became his language. His friend. His way of processing what he couldn’t say out loud. He began writing songs—about loss, confusion, beauty, and resilience. People listened. Before he finished high school, his music was already reaching others. Through music, Cory learned the power of community—how shared experiences can become chosen family.
