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.

Inspiring Quote of the Day WELCOME to Inspiration

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."

Aldous Huxley

I have found that beautiful music is a great aid to dissipating and releasing emotions that are not serving me, or that are getting in the way of a heart-felt high vibration (fulfillment and gratitude), the state of being that attracts abundance.

Why Should Fears Be Faced

Face of Fear's Film Still

With everything we all go through there appears to be a repetition in exactly what we go through. Hidden childhood memories tend to cause a cataclysmic cascade of effects on adult living. So just what is this "Face of Fear" that Shade wrote about in her Music???? Well I will tell you. It is a child that cries out from the wilderness within ones own heart... they cry for Hope, a child who wishes to end the pain of life but does not know how, a child who deeply wishes for Peace and most of all Love. Life with its series of ups and downs presents us an array of unsettling experiences and until we face our fears not much can be done about changing the repercussions of life. We all have chances to become our very best, we are given with each day, new opportunities, and we can choose this instead of what the lost within us chooses..... Fear. A Child lost is a Child who deserves so much better in life than the scorn from from its own self. As I walk through my own valley of loosing my Label, economic changes, and still working to create the very best for our Readers and Supporters, this song encourages me and I hope it will encourage you. 

You can see the [OFFICIAL VIDEO AD] at Striking Concept Films-Video right here on Blogger. To purchase "Face of Fear" you can go to Shade's Profile at Reverbnation and click on that cute note on her Profile under her Songs :0) feel free to become a Fan and check out our other Artists as well. Many thanks for ALL of your kind support of not only me but the other Artists represented here at the Blog. Special thanks to Jerry Banberger and Katie and James Fairchild. And many thanks to The Heretic- Snordelhans, who originally inspired me with this incredible visual of Fear in the artwork's child's face.

DEVOTIONS RECORDING AT REVERBNATION

Ryo Utasato and Shade Law The Magic Behind Their Album

Ryo’s Home Studio is a perfect balance between technical and actual instrumentation. While Shade remains high tech in programming with Native Instruments, Sony Acid 5, and Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD. Both Artists however, do come together in harmony with Shade’s intensity and Ryo’s depth of soul; they end up making a fantastic Soundtrack collaboration.  In their own individual rights, they both are consummate professionals and hail from the Motion Picture Industry.

Ryo Utasato is a composer, singer and writer. Ryo began listening to the music of her father's classical guitar, and her mother's folk singing along with the samisen from the age of 3. Her grandfather is half Japanese Ainu and at the age of 14 Ryo started singing in a rock band and by 18 she was singing professionally with a foreign artist and appearing on Japanese TV. At 28 her career expanded to include composing music for film and television, such as the theme for World Heritage, and others. Her original soundtracks have been used in sci-fi, historical, drama, horror and action films & TV. As a singer, her style is best identified with world music, ethnic singing, and ancient singing of Japan, healing new age, pop and rock. She respects the history and culture of all races on this earth which is deeply expressed in her music. 

 

Shade Law is brand new to the Internet Music scene; she basically started to write Music because of You Tube's rules and regulations about Music with Video. Not really understanding why certain Music could not be used.... a good friend of hers suggested that she writes her own. Hence Shade started her own adventure at Reverbnation with her trusted band members, "MAGIX16 AND ACID5, "Cakewalk," Samplitude Silver Soundcloud Edition, and Native Instruments, just joined her team of technology. Shade now enjoys her own Music with the Films and Videos she creates with her Film-Video Partner at Striking Concept Films-Video and her own Film Company Knight Productions [a Social Concern Film Company,] as well. Anything to not get into trouble at You Tube LOL. 

Now, being retired from Warner Brothers Studios… Shade focuses on not only writing music through technology but once she started Devotions Recording; Shade now wishes to enhance her Artists through Film and Videos. Ever mindful of what works in Film [which is her Labels chief concern] she presses ever forward to hit that pentacle of quality which could open the doors to Games and Films. “If you can make it in Film, you can make it anywhere,” is what her old Teacher and Boss Larry Lashanski always taught her, and her mind cannot be shifted from that lesson. Film is the pentacle; all other modems are just that, other avenues. Because the standard of Gaming is now equal to Films [because of Adobe After Effects] it is a Market that she studies for the potential of her Artists and herself to enter.

Ryo and Shade met at Reverbnation and started a deep friendship as they enjoyed each others work, Shade asked Ryo if she could do a Video for one of her works, and from there they began to work on "East Meets West," it was Ryo who then suggested after the completion of the song "East Meets West" that they do an entire Album. Hence "East Meets West the Album" came about. Produced at two ends of the World LUNE Muzik.JP where Ryo resides and Devotions Recording in the US where Shade resides. Two worlds, many experiences, enjoy “East Meets West theAlbum." "Thank You For Your Kind Support and Purchase of our Digital Download."

The Dynamic Duo Michael Hartman and the Appendages and Mark Hoevet

Truly a man with a sense of humor, yes when you visit his ReverbnationProfile ya get this Bio; “congratulations!! You’re the 100,000th person to visit this site!! You’ve won a zircon encrusted spatula!!!! simply click here, answer a few hundred simple questions, give me all of your personal information i.e. bank account number, social security number, all credit card information including routing numbers, and mother's maiden name. As soon as I receive that information, the spatula will be headed straight to your door!!” 

Mike was my very first Friend at Reverbnation and he is a hoot! His Music isn’t bad either, his band is actually himself hence... Michael Hartman AND the Appendages as he plays all of the instruments himself… and he sings too! His newest Album is also available at his Reverbnation Store.

Mike also collaborates with an extremely talented young gentleman Mark Hoevet who came on board with Devotions Recording in our first year. Now Mark’s Bio makes a bit more sense here. Mark is a Musician\songwriter from Central Nebraska. Many of Mark’s influences, leans towards the electronic Pop\rock genre without losing the versatility of different sounding material. A variety of his songs have a different influence and sound... After many years of traveling and playing in many different style bands, he’s content with writing and recording at his home studio.

Mark has a broad range of music interests and heroes. He likes anything done well, and appreciates many different artists and bands and their talent. Mark is not zeroed in on listening or writing one type of music and is very versatile. Everything you hear is done by Mark on his Korg Triton 76 and Yamaha MO8 keyboards and recorded in his 32trk basement studio, a pretty basic set up that in my opinion yields amazing work. I was so amped when I got to do a Video for these guys! So here it is…

Mike Heartmanand Mark Hoevet

P Eric Bailey Producer – Engineer – Musician - Friend

Classical / Alternative / New Age… P. Eric Bailey primarily produces music for the film industry. He dose however, collaborate with his musical friends from around the world at Reverbnation. On occasion P. Eric Bailey will post these collaborations on his Profile at Reverbnation. He his contributed to my song “Someone Save Me” with a live Orchestra of which he conducted, he has  and still does work with BillyD in engineering his work, and continues to work with Artists around the world because to Phill, “Music is the great peacemaker in the world.” Music crosses all barriers, races, religions, and if you let the Music move through your heart... all political and social concerns. 

A humble man P. Eric Bailey makes no pretenses or puts on any sort of airs. This gentle soul has but one heart, and it is for a world that needs more Love instead of what is being presented.  He communicates best with this Love through his dynamic presentation of Music. His newest Album “Caught in The Milky Way” takes you on a journey of what could be, if Peace were the method of operation instead of being…. “Addicted To Lies.” We all have a passion that is never addressed; many of us are doing what is contrary to what we really desire deeply to do. We have become addicted to our own lies, let alone the lies we might tell each other to feel better about ourselves. In his Album “Caught in The Milky Way” he and Billy D collaborate on a song called “How I Feel…” and that’s what “Caught in The Milky Way” is really about… feelings and getting back to ones own inner feelings. Can you let go of the past? Move toward a future? Start Over? If you need encouragement than P. Eric Bailey’s Album and his Music in general is definitely what you’re looking for.

P. Eric Bailey also worked on the “Timeless” project where 7 of us came together to blend textures for an Album of the world for the world.
 

DevotionsRecording is so deeply grateful that this man, this professional, this dear Friend has come aboard my little adventure. And I am also grateful that he took me under his wing and educated me right before I participated in The First IndieChannel Music competition of 2012. The Song “Fire” and “Judgment By Shade Law spoken By Snordelhans” was scored, balanced, engineered correctly enough for me to be Nominated for both.

 

“Judgment” was the Video is nominated for Best Video under $5000.00 and “Fire” for best Soundtrack. I would like to add that Derekof Feed The Fire Films has secured my foundation with Video-Film work with my program Sony “Vegas Movie Studio HD” enough for me to brave these new waters. I am completely kissed by God with good quality Friends as the ones I have at Devotions Recording. So, go visit P. Eric Bailey, you owe yourself a wonderful experience. For now listen and relax. 

Spoken Word as a Genre

Poetry & Spoken Word

---

Emanating passion both on the printed page and on stage, our roster of poetry and spoken word speakers have inspired countless audiences while playing key roles in movements for social change. Their energetic presentations are guaranteed to invigorate, inspire, and create an enduring memory for audiences. Leading speakers of the world generally are Poets or Writers at heart, their passion is to educate, uplift, inform, inspire, and help move a society or world into a better mindset. When you place Music into the mix you now have "Spoken Word as a Genre." Accepted by Reverbnation honestly when I started working with....

The Heretic – Snordelhans.

  All of his work is original material, it is... for lack of a better term... protest dialogue. He chooses writers from across the globe whose work is powerful and contemporary. Occasionally one comes up against true genius, like Les Visible, and then for me their is  Snordelhans. It is truth and knowledge with good music, especially chosen by Snordelhans himself for his intense research, study and productions, it's ArtAttack Reportage. Without the writers, he would be silent. Thanks to them [the writers] he speaks, and thanks to him most of us listen, hopefully before it's too late. And now a Short Film By The Heritic-Snordelhans. 
YES you bet, Devotions Recording IS most Honored to have this man on our Roster.

Song For The Day BY Mark Hovet

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:

Shade Law Founder of a Bunch of Stuff

I started at Reverbnation from one question to a teacher that I still work with today.... the question was.... "HOW THE HECK DO I STOP GETTING THOSE NOTES FROM YOU TUBE ABOUT MUSIC USED???!!!!" In all seriousness this was becoming annoying to the creative process of making Short Films and Videos. You see, I retired from Warner Brothers in Burbank quite a few years back, and always from childhood loved Films and their Soundtracks. I figured since I am retired, why not give it a thrill on the Internet and see what comes of it. His answer was simple at the time to my frustrated question... "Make Your Own Music," and he gave me a link to this "Reverbnation" place and a link to "Sony Acid" which is a Music Program Site and also now is the home Site to all of my High Tech Film Programs.

Lovely I thought "what am I going to do with this stuff? Well, being relatively creative in thinking, I could see how this would stop the annoying notes from You Tube who I really like, and didn't want them to toss me out behind copyright infringements. I began my daunting study with Derek of Feed The Fire Films and others [notably P. Eric Bailey Cinematic Music Producer], to try to fit the pieces together. I knew I had a grasp of what my Business Partner of Striking Concept Films-Video [Jodie P. Floss] taught me about Web Design and Conceptual presentation, and I had a grasp of what Susan Peck taught me about strong back linking and SEO.... But this! This was quite different. This was an exposure of my deeper sense of my being and heart. This was Music, and there is no hiding from emotions here. No BS if one goes deep enough into the textures of sound and what invokes those textures.

Well I was a year into Reverbnation and I was spurred on to ask my Friends their to join with me at Devotions Recording. I really didn't think they would say YES. Really I didn't, I expected to shut down Striking Concept-Devotions Recording within a week from no response. But within Minutes four showed up and not just any four The TOP in their filed of Music. Mike Heartman, Noise Flower, Beatmistresscait and Ryo Utasato showed up. Well that restarted my journey Big Time, every since then I have created more of a presence (that I can create) for my Artists-Friends and myself. These creations from Music to Short Films to Videos even to [Official Commercials] has all been to promote the very BEST in Music and Film.  The very BEST of what I Love created from Love. Enjoy it all feel free to Subscribe to this Blog, Follow the Artists here at their Reverbnation Sites, purchase anything you enjoy, download anything that is Free from the Artists here, and have FUN! Most of all "do what you Love and everything else is gravy."

Music of Enlightenment and Truth Beatmistresscait

Beatmistresscait takes you on a journey of powerful proportion. She is a Producer using the high tech Ableton, a former DJ who rocks the floor, she now rocks the Film-Video world... and beyond.

She's worked with both Striking Concept Films-Video and the ever demanding "Knight Productions4" the Social Concerns Film Production Company. Ireland should be proud of this amazing woman, she's fiery, exotic, and rhythmic, Beatmistresscait is a spell binder of sound and a perfectionist with music textures. Devotions Recording is deeply honored to have Cait on our Roster. Enjoy and be very amazed:
  

BREAKING NEWS Snordelhans is now THE Voice of Reverbnation

The Heretic – Snordelhans is now at Reverbnation. Why? Because You Tube has lost their mind! This is a man who many of you know has been my inspiration to improve both my Film and Music skills.  He was the Featured Voice in my Indie MusicCompetition short Film, the catalyst for another yet to be released Film work involving "Unhinged," the motivator and encouragement factor for why Devotions Recording pushes for excellence in Sound Track Music. He is now THE Spoken Word Artist at DevotionsRecording and I am honored to have him. Listen and be educated as well as inspired:

He’s NEW so Fan him and be a good Friend because he will be…. Will you?

RYO UTASATO

In Tokyo she is "Teacher," Film Music Composer, but here at DevotionsRecording she is FRIEND. She is Ryo Utasato and she is a breath of fresh air. Her voice is like cleansing water ~ her Music is a standard I sure try to reach in Soundtrack work. Please EnJoy Ryo Utasato:

Her Cinematic Albums are here: "Surrender" and "East Meets West The Album" with Shade Law at CD Baby along with her powerful Single "Swallow" also at CD Baby.

ZAELON the Music Weaver

Zaelon used to be a mobile D J doing private functions Weddings, Birthday parties etc and then a friend gave him a music program for his computer and said “have fun” and since then he has and we are lucky for that!

Zaelon is a profound creationist of Music, his music is a breath that you breathe with and expand with. Heard of “Dream Weaver” for Films, well now there is a human “Music Weaver” for sound textures that boggle the mind and open the heart. Devotions Recording was very lucky to get Zaelon on our Roster and this is a song that clearly is how he got my attention…. Enjoy.

Open Your Mind.... his Album is here… SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC

DANZ DMA

DANZ is a Producer, singer & song writer. She has been creating, composing, mixing and producing music, for 13 years now. For Danz music has been a form of therapy, another language that describes her deepest feelings, life experiences, desires and thoughts. Music is an expression of one’s deeper self, of which Danz goes deep within the textures of herself with her work and touches those around her work.

The more you are in touch with your inner self , the more creative you will get .

This is the song that caught my attention to ask humbly for Danz Dma to come to DevotionsRecording deep and with her interwoven complexities of Music and style well heck if you had a label you would ask her too so there hehehehe EnJoY

 

Special thanks to SIBOM for his beautiful work on the sound mastering for Danz.
Thank you SIBOM from Danz DMA.
