Lovely animated video for CC-licensed song
John from the CC-friendly music label Vosotros sez,
Learning Music is a band from Los Angeles. They write and record an album every month. In partnership with vosotros, all of their music is licensed under Creative Commons and offered via a subscription series called Learning Music Monthly. Subscribers can receive a CD every month in their mailbox - or donate any amount for digital access to the band's entire catalog. They also post mix stems and handwritten sheet music on their "contribute" page to encourage remixes and covers.All In A Summer's Day (Thanks, John!)But the fourth issue, called Geochemistry, is more than just an album of songs. It's a collection of music videos from ten different Los Angeles filmmakers. Unlike the process for most music videos, these songs were written after the films were completed, creating sounds to fit the images, rather than the other way around.
This month's video single, "All In A Summer's Day", features brilliant animation by Tony Moore.

Better than I was expecting. Here I was all prepared for a rant about how the last things CC needs publicized was more bland-ass shit descriptable as "lovely".
Real music, especially shit that fucking rocks, is almost inherently self-destructive. That almost most trivially includes indentured servitude in a criminal recording contract.
But this is actually pretty good.
Well done, congratulations.
Another homemade animated music video comes to my mind. It was set to Electric Light Orchestra's "Twilight" and played at the opening to the 1983 Nihon SF Taikai convention, DAICON IV, in Osaka. Can this one compete with that?
even if one doesn't exactly 'like' the music or video, there is no denying that the whole thing is pretty awesome.
anyone know how I can get in touch w/the person who created the animation video?
thx
Richard
