Once Upon A Time

Derek G

Once upon a time in the Music realm, there was this chick, oh yea that would be me. This chick LOVES making Videos and attaching Music with them. Ever the student and always learning new stuff this chick ran into the RULES of You Tube Enforcers! They say... "Hey Chick! Stop using this Music or we will shut you down!" Very frightened by the Enforcers of Video and Films she runs to her Friend Derek G, and says "Hey D' what should I do." D' says don't sweat it do your own Music and the Enforcers will shut the hell up. The chick then says, but I don't have any keyboards or technical stuff to do Music. The D' ever so cool and never frazzled threw two links at the chick, one for Sony Vegas and another for Reverbnation, and calmly says go for it, if you need help let me know.  

Reverbnation

A brand NEW world this chick enters full of NEW adventures after working her way up to Sony Vegas for Films and Video and adding Sony Acid [for Music] to her arsenal of creativity. Ever the helpful person, Derek of Feed The Fire Films, was always there for her to help her with developing her craft if she needed it. At that time the chick set up her profile at Reverbnation, and had lots of questions and lots of doubt. Comfortable with the Music she wrote for Film she was never quite comfortable with a format that shared her Music with the world so to say. She wondered if anyone would understand it or like her Music. She also wondered if anyone would really consider her an actual Musician.

And then she met five major Friends that would help her through this amazing process... All of these Friends are accomplished well disciplined Musicians, who not only helped her on her way but, shared her work with their Friends. These kind Musicians are Mike Heartman who was her very first Friend at Reverbnation, Noise Flower, Zaelon, Ryo Utasato, P Eric Bailey [who co wrote her second version of "Somebody Save Me,"] and the ever sought after Beatmistresscait who promoted the hell our of the chick.

Devotions Recording 2013 Music with Heart

One of the most compelling things about film or video is Music. Without the heart of this artistic form our shows, TV, Motion Pictures, and even our video games would really be a drag. So like I have been going on and on about 2013.... Yes it's that time of year again when we all start to think about the NEW Year. So I decided to hook up with one of my Instructors and get some fresh new looks for Devotions Recording and the other Film Companies who Love Devotions Recording Artists and our Guest. This Ad is for D.R. Devotions Recording will be working with Knight Productions for the Film 2013. I'm not sure where it's gonna go still trying to figure something out for "Concept" so yeah Striking Concept's Jodie will be helping me with that one. We have so much to learn about our WORLD but it really would help Americans to learn about our own Country first. That's always a good start. Learn about your own self before impositions on others. The primary standard Artist for GREAT Soundtrack will be invited for this project, but we might also have some Guest on this project as well. ya never know, i got plenty of time as 2013 isn't even here yet LOL.

Feel free to visit the Artists at Reverbnation: SHADE LAW Founder/Musician, BEATMISTRESSCAIT,  ANDREW SKELTON, NOISE FLOWER, ZAELON,  RYO UTASATO, P ERIC BAILEY, MIKE HEARTMAN, Jacki Song, Mark Hoevet, The Heretic- Snordelhans, Frank Weyzig, and DANZDMA.

The fundamentals of thinking and believing

"Love is much more fundamental than any kind of thinking or believing. 

It is the root and basis of who you are, at the most fundamental level. 

This means that anything other than love 

as an expression of your being 

is artificial and unnatural and is a result 

of not knowing who you are."

Bill Harris


 

We need to examine all the thoughts we have, the considerations and beliefs, and find out what's true and what isn't. And what actually belongs to somebody else... something somebody else told us and we've accepted. What's been imprinted or programmed, in other words. Stripping that stuff off (and letting go of the accompanying painful feelings and misguided behaviors) and finding what is our own inner truth. Because it comes from inside us it is pure and our inner knowing, from each of us as a spiritual being. It's based on universal knowledge, i.e. knowledge that is free of any kind of conditioning. The perspective is unconditional love. No one expresses this Love as deeply in her Music than Noise Flower, she exemplifies the movement of love within her work effortlessly. So check her out at Reverbnation.

Blanket the World With Love

The third and final production with Nancy B and myself is now complete. I would like to write about what keeps love going when your world seems to be falling apart. You see yesterday wasn't a good day. After the Government decided to take out $300.00 from my social security to pay for Medicare well I had to shut down the label at Reverbnation.Ahhhhh but I am no idiot, this is exactly why I backlinked to these fine Artists Profiles at Reverbnation and very little to the Label itself.

Face it Love is just weird sometimes. A lot is required to get up everyday and continue this silent work. This visual array. This emotional roller coaster of succeeding and maybe not succeeding can be draining. Ahhhhhh but when one does tap into the one-ness of the Love that keeps Art going no matter what.... then Friendships arrive at what they should be. Countries will arrive at responsible leaders. And the real starvation of the soul will end. 

This Journey started with a song.... "Gun Cocked and Loaded." which then fell into "Steps in Preventing Suicide" [part1] I was a bit unhinged when the air conditioning went out and then right in the middle of "Beyond The Wave" [part2] my Pay-Pal and Chase were attacked. Yet the work gets done, is it Love???? Yes it is. Almost at the end of "Blanket the World With Love" [part3] the Gov plays games with my money.  Does it hurt to shut down part of your heart, you bet it does, closing Devotions Recording at Reverbnation really hurt. But Love will carry me out of this. Yesterday I received a really cool gift from Noise Flower... a song written for me. I think she actually caught my soul, you see I am one of the few that can actually live in utter darkness and still find beauty in it.  That's what the Flower caught. I want to thank everyone who has stood with me during these dark times. Because it won't be dark for much longer, not with this heart, and not with this mind's vision.

BLESSINGS AND THANK YOU ALL
FOR YOUR KIND SUPPORT
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Why is that darn Knight Productions4 Social Concern Films so Picky

I think Dave "Zaelon"says it best... "What a powerful film, check it out, listen to the music tracks and "Watch" the sections of the film for each track, you will be surprised with the visualization and your own thoughts." 

Founded by Shade Law about a year ago, Knight Productions4 Film is a condensed version of the "Reverse NLP" series from her You Tube "Laws Of Expression" and "X~Ray Your Soul~1." It is more structured and more detailed with a variety of Musicians that play for a Knight Production Film. All Devotions Recording Artists that pass a standard of Music wind up in a Knight Production4 Film. The Music must pass several standards, A) it must be a SOUNDTRACK. B) the PRODUCTION QUALITY must be excellent. and C) Music CONTINUITY must fit the Film's continuity and or CONCEPT. Very few make it past these standards, what may pass a Striking Concept Film won't necessarily pass a Knight Production4 Film's need. The viewers must feel comfortable in "watching" what could be a poignant scene that helps them break free from the forced programing that does occur from the Internet to TV. Hence the "Reversal" of... "Neuro Linguistic Programing" or commonly known as "NLP" cannot take place if the project sounds or looks like all the rest out their.

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created in the 1970s. The title refers to a stated connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic"), and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience ("programming") and can be organized to achieve specific goals in life.^[1][2] According to certain neuroscientists,^[3] psychologists,^[4][5] and linguists,^[6][7] NLP is unsupported by current scientific evidence, and uses incorrect and misleading terms and concepts.

We are being mislead daily, even by the Music by what the corporate world 'thinks' you should listen to. Advertising is very sophisticated and is designed to control the masses to what 'they' would like you to purchase.  From Film, to Music, to what arguments you take up, to the soap you use for your hair... you better believe there is a team of Advertisers behind the product. That is Neuro-linguistic programming and the only way to "reverse" NLP is to do the opposite of what "they" want you to do, be, or say... Hence "Independent Music-Film-Videos." Note: no tits and ass are in my Films unless it makes logical sense. Note: all Music is a class act and follows scene progression. Note: each film cut makes sense to the deeper part of a person's humanity, not just the "primal instinct" or "fear factor," that Politics and Religion generally stir up to gain advantages over folks or worse yet control the populace. Note: film should make a person "STOP and THINK" for themselves, not just follow the herd off the darn cliff.

So,  "Why is that darn Knight Productions4 Social Concern Films so Picky?" Maybe it's because I care that folks do not lose anymore of themselves than they already have. And maybe it's because what you watch as a standard you tend to follow a higher and better standard if it goes beyond the need to control the masses and actually give something helpful to the masses. Thank you Feed the Fire Films, SENTIENTMIND, The Heretic, and BBC. So here is that Film that Dave was talking about. Featured work in the Film By: Beatmistresscait, Andrew Skelton, Ryo Utasato, Noise Flower, Zaelon, Shade Law all from Devotions Recording.

 

Thanks for your kind support, feel free to visit our Artists and see their own projects that they are working on independently from the Label. Feel free to watch any of Knight Productions4 at You Tube and subscribe if you are so inclined. And feel free to check out FEED THE FIRE FILMS, SENTIENTMIND, AND The Heretic-Snordelhans.

Noise Flower the Real Deal

Noise Flower is Mary Anderson (creating music with catchy, tingly, often minimalistic qualities bound to make you dance or just dig it in) and Karin Beckérus (completing the songs with vocal arrangements, lyrics and voice). Karin joined Mary in august 2010 and the joint adventure has just begun!

But then there is Noise Flower as Noise Flower… here is an explosion of music at it’s finest. Beats that arouse the senses, textures of hidden notes that captivate the body, and subtleties that move the soul into other realms of being or thought. Perfect for Sountrack her Music takes on the initiative that makes one follow the scene all the way to its conclusion. Noise Flower worked with Jodie P. Floss and Shade Law directly in Jodie’s powerful, educational Short Film for taking care of Elderly dental needs. Talk about waking up a bored Staff, the short film was a success and helps health care providers expand their horizons of caring for the Elderly.

Noise Flower then went on to assist Shade in a KnightProduction Social Concern Short Film that supported “ending greed.” The project was a 7 short film project called “Microcosm the World Event” hosted at You Tube and Facebook. 7 Artists [Beatmistresscait, Andrew Skelton, Ryo Utasato, P.Eric Bailey, Zaelon, and Shade Law] participated in this series; each Artist had a section of Film to work with, each texture of Film intense in nature, and each having a message to end greed before the World goes extinct from greed. With each project that Noise Flower takes on she grows in depth, quality, and production. She’s AWESOME so lean back and relax into what is Noise Flower and you bet Devotions Recording is most honored to have her on our Roster:
