"RITUAL" song+video movie score from "BARAKA"...

So about 20 years ago I recorded this song "RITUAL" and twenty years later scored it to a scene from the movie "BARAKA" and the result was magical. This movie was produced about the same time as the song and this scene was EXACTLY what I had pictured when making the song! Please watch and review! THANK YOU! -Shawn

    Tried to watch, Shawn, but the screen came up with the loading circle in the middle but never did finish.  I'll try again later.

    The link worked, Shawn.  The hypnotic circle in the middle of the video screen just never stopped.  I'm looking at it again and it's still going.  Could be on my end.  I've listened to tunes but haven't tried another video.  I'll try again in the morning.  Still turning.

    Still wouldn't open in Chrome.  Pasted link in explorer and it worked fine.  Strange, it's usually the opposite.   Funny how that works.  This is one of those that I would have thought was nicely done but repetitious.  Having it with the movie makes it come alive.  Big sound, Shawn.  I really enjoyed it.

    Shawn,
    You did an awesome job on the music!  I liked this piece the best of any I have heard from you.  The emotion you captured with the video is really amazing.  I don't know what I just watched but it was moving to see all those guys focused on their ritual.  Your music played perfectly.
    I think you should get rid of music by: www.xxxxxxxx and use your own name instead.  I have never seen music by a website.  Music by should always point toward the composer IMO.  
    Great job.

    Did you add your track over the top of the actual movie score - sounds like there is both there ..?

    I'm not sure but if the movie is copyrighted isn't it kind of bad idea to make changes to such material with selfmade music? Kind of copyright infringement I guess. Although it's very common practice in Youtube so I don't know.

    Well done but it is definitely copyright infringement. Youtube is horribly inconsistent about removing such things so it may not get taken down. I got a notice once about "possible copyright infringement" because I used a clip from my own tv show. Took weeks of replying to automated responses to get them to understand I was the copyright holder.

    The music was made at the time of the making of the movie, I did not ask them initially if I could do this, I did it 20 years later and then showed it to them and they liked it so I use it as a promotional piece for my self and them. It's a blessing!

    Very cool Shawn.
    It opens just fine here(using Chrome), but indicates one hour and twenty five minutes, most of which is dead air. May be an issue, depending on the device?
    And I second Rimshot. I'm one of those odd birds that actually likes to watch the credits, because I want to know who the people are behind a project.

    The original natural sound includes the full movie soundtrack both the chanting and the soundtrack music by Michael Stearns.  I think the result of blending the 2 pieces is an interesting concept, but I don't think you should state "Music by www.soundtraxxmusic.com"

    This is just an idea but if you could put only the music made by you here without the movie stuff we could better appreciate your music.

    I definitely liked what I heard and thought it matched up real well with the feel of the video.   That said, I have no idea what was done by whom...

    I'll post the song by itself shortly, but I posted the video on the "SAMSARA" facebook page (The same people who made "BARAKA" and told them I wanted to use it on my SoundTraxx website they "Liked" the idea so I ran with it! -Shawn

    OK, to help clear up some confusion between what I produced and the makers of "BARAKA" produced here is a soundcloud link to the raw original .mp3 "=of my song - "RITUAL".  Before I wrote that song I spent a friday day and eveneing at a house in Minneapolis, MN smoking things and eating pizza with mushrooms while listening to Dr. John's - "Right Place Wrong Time album".  I remember I had a wedding to film saturday morning and I had to leave my house in Hastings MN by about noon so when I was capable I went home early that morning to crank out a song. The result was "RITUAL" made with BARS & PIPES Professional & and AMIGA 4000 with a STUDIO16 AD516 stereo audio card with my Roland U-20 keyboard as the controller.  I remember banging my open hands one after the other on the "TOM DRUM" sample to make it sound like a bunch of people drumming at the same time. I swear I was in a trance when I made this song also again when I matched the music up 20 years later to this non-scored piece of the awesome film "BARAKA".
     
    ULTRABRA- I know there was some added synth and percussion sounds to the raw footage of this scene before I got to it, I guess I should state by music was "added" to the soundtrack of "BARAKA" but now with this upload of my original song - "RITUAL" people will have a btter idea of what I mean.  I'm sorry if the www.soundtraxxmusic.com labels offend people in this forum so much, it's my baby. I would have to re-edit the video and re-upload it to youtube and then make new links in this message to get rid of it but from now on atleast in the CakeWalk forumns I am going to try to keep that link off of my posts.

    Very good Shawn. This sounds like great stuff for movies and presentations and if you edited the later more dramatic stuff out it could be used as relaxation music also. To further improve the song you could fix the a bit abrupt ending. It kind of ends a second too soon, before the last notes have ended.
