Cory, Riley and Sidney: This piece is crazy great. I love that you made it together, yet in each of your own ways… apart.The scary dystopian feel of the static sounds, Matrix-like visuals and vocal/orchestral build keep you poised on a precipice — like the one we are all standing on — yet at the same time keeps you grounded — to say nothing of the images that rise beyond the tide of our media’s shock and awe, leaving our shared humanity in its wake and very much alive. Bravo and Bravas!

Man, 2025 Alive is deep. I love it, and I love that you and your daughters created it. I completely understand the sadness and exhaustion of being a new empty nester in chaotic times; my daughter left for college in the middle of 2020. It gets easier, and you have amazing kids. That’s the trade off, right? They keep growing, and by necessity, growing further away. But your pride in them and your vicarious travels almost make up for their absence. Almost….Keep it up, bud. I appreciate you.

Cory Cullinan is a multifaceted artistand established producer. His new project, 2025 Alive, isn’t just a song; it’s a multimedia experience in collaboration with his daughters Riley Max (songwriter) and Sidney Cullinan (filmmaker). This work reflects how strange, complex, and challenging it is to be alive in 2025.I was captivated by how the piece doesn’t need a linear narrative to be impactful. The structure is free, almost meditative, but at the same time unsettling. It’s an introspective journey where every second matters. The collaboration with his daughter Riley Max brings a special warmth. And yes, it feels like a generational conversation in musical form.Listen and follow their journey. If you’re looking for a piece to shake you out of your musical rut, Cory Cullinan’s 2025 Alive is the jolt you need.

If we all realized that people have the same emotion to live freely and to be content, then we might not be so cruel to one another.If you hate the ‘other’, is that their problem, or yours?

Wow.

Sounds like the soundtrack to Pedro Almodovar’s next film… amazing sounds and voices. Sadly, with the impactful imagery, it’s the soundtrack to our dystopian lives right now. Well done, Cory Cullinan. Bravo.

I have watched this twice now. Back to back. Each time I got a little something different. It was… I felt drawn to memories myself a few times… the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey being one. I felt an almost dystopian vibe halfway through the second viewing. What I felt the mostwas unidentifiable emotion. Cory, I had to get up from my desk and take a walk outside. Not in a bad way at all, but in an effort to compartmentalize all the different feelings going through my mind. This is beautiful, powerful, bold, sad and enriching. For me, 2 particular moments stood out. The baby over the shoulder of a woman (maybe mom), and then the way you brought that image back towards the end. The second image that was the most powerful to me was the old man speaking to the ocean.

I hope people watch and feel both the gravity and hope we poured into this piece.
