This is new information for me about the Eastern church as both a Catholic and an artist (musician, song writer, writer, and film maker) can you orient me to anything regarding the Eastern Church and what you spoke of?

Liturgically they are practically identical. I'd ask FReeper NYer, who They could point out some of the best Eastern liturgical chanting on YouTube.
'Course you could plunge right into the deep end, like reading the Philokalia. Can you swim? :o) When you find good stuff, esp. for beginners, let me know!!
