Music for Video: April Showers

This is Snoop Dog's favorite Music for Video collection, because it's perfect for drizzle.
A mix of mellow, reflective and moody songs, perfect for watching Spring rainstorms outside your window. It's like lying upside down off the edge of your bed thinking about someone far away. Like walking home early in the morning, after sleeping somewhere you shouldn't have, while the streets are still wet. It's a mix that makes you want to throw away all your adderall and start feeling again.

1. Gillicuddy (website, CC BY-NC) - Simple minimalist folk played with extreme sincerity. The sound of flowers growing out of wet soil. 2. Podington Bear (website, CC BY-NC) - There is an entire world and an epic tale within this song. If you like this, then you might also like the huge library of instrumental albums Podington Bear offers for non-commercial use. Contact the artist for more permissions. 3.

Candlegravity (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - The soundtrack to your long distance relationship. A voice enters about a minute in and repeats throughout the song. 5. Augustus Bro & Gallery Six (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Music for finding beauty in something ordinary. I'm pretty sure this was the song playing during the paper bag scene in American Beauty. 6. LASERS (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Music for taking in the world around you, feeling connected and distant all at once. |

Battleship Potemkin Revisited

Members of the international avant-garde collective Apskaft worked together to create a soundtrack for Battleship Potemkin, one of the most important films of all time. The soundtrack is now hosted by the Free Music Archive.
Battleship Potemkin (Russian: Броненосец «Потёмкин», Bronenosets Potyomkin) is a 1925 silent film directed by genius filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein and produced by Mosfilm. It presents a dramatized version of the 1905 mutiny when the crew of the Russian battleship Prince Potemkin rebelled against their Tsarist regime officers. Battleship Potemkin [IMDB] is considered one of the most important silent films and one of the most influential propaganda films. It was named the greatest film of all time at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958. The film continues to be a standard in film courses for Eisenstein's emphasis on montage, his depictions of violence, his stress of intellectual contact, and his treatment of the masses rather than the individual as protagonist.
Each scene of the film was scored by Apskaft artists and can be viewed with the full-length film after the jump and at the Internet Archive. An Apskafters e-magazine also accompanies the release of this soundtrack.

Star Studios needs Star Trek music.

Star Studios is an Oklahoma City based indepentent studio for Star Trek fan films. We are providing sets and props free of charge for anyone who wishes to produce their own Star Trek fan film. The studio is part of an association of fan film producers that has a good working relationship with CBS/Paramount who own the Star Trek franchise. Fan films are not allowed to make money from their productions, therefor the budget for most productions is very limited and all the time and labor is a tribute to the Star Trek series.
All of the productions need music for their shows. Star Studios would like to start a collection of music appropriate for Star Trek TOS (original series) shows. Anyone willing to donate their music will be fully credited on our website and in each show it is used in. Star Studios will also provide a link from our website to any donating artist site that would like one. Remember, all music needs to be in the TOS style.
1. Instumental only.
2. Preferable Orchestral although not limited to it.
3. Loops/electronic tracks are not appropriate to the era.
These are only general guidlines as each production will choose their own music.
Anyone interested in help the project can contact us through our website, http://www.starstudios.net/contact.html. Visit our website at www.starstudios.net.

1. Plurabelle (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Synth music for watching the snow fall. Plurabelle is a Bucharest musician who finds inspiration in books, and his latest album is inspired by the Tom McCarthy novel Remainder. 2. Dexter Britain (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - A song so epic and full of feelings that it elevates the emotional significance of any footage or dialoge you place alongside it. This track is a producers 6-minute long fantasy, and the tour de force of a true soundtrack master. Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available on Britain's website. 3. Aestrid Byrne (website, CC BY-SA) - An elegant and thoughtful song written and performed on toy piano from Byrne's room in a Santiago clinic. Because her room could not accommodate a baby grand or upright piano, the toy piano was a tool-of-circumstance. She died in 1998, one month after making her album Laterna. 4. Marcel Pequel (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Minimal piano music with a heavy nostalgia. Music for flash back sequences. Rosebud! 5. Orbique (website, CC BY-SA) - Gentle electronic music for getting lost in your thoughts. Begins barely audible, and ends with a brief recorded dialogue. 6. Jahzzar (website, CC BY-SA) - Young and optimistic 80s-style Synth Pop. Perfect soundtrack for a birthday montage. |
