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.

Is Copyright Infringement Another Way To End International Communications

While working on statistical data for Devotions Recording Artists and getting over a severe case of heatstroke [there is no Global Warming pay no attention to everyone around you having heart infractions] Ryo gave me a call and was very upset and concerned. It would seem Japan is launching a device for the Internet that would create a buffer of sorts that actually spies on it's citizens and secures their download history. With the data obtained, they can now arrest their citizens for "copyright infringement" if what they secure is found to be obtained from Music Sites, ITunes, You Tube, or anywhere that has a "photo," sound-music, or film-video content deemed to be "belonging to the entertainment industry etc." Ohhhhh let me count the many Composer's of You Tube in where You Tube has stated "their song" belongs to said "Industry." Let me count the ways where Film Collaborations go array as well [where two or more are gathered in joy and Bliss, to create wonderful music or film, those overseers on the Internet create more BS...]. But, I digress. Enter...

Anonymous you know those guys with the funny computer voices that rant and rave and don't get much done, yes them. Really they are as bad as the governments themselves sometimes. They are shielded in great mystery and they are the ones that no Government fears... and pretty much no regular person who has laid their bodies on the line [like the 99% of Occupy Wallstreet] take them seriously. But there they were on Japan's side of the Net making empty noises and pretty much scaring the heck out of my Friend Ryo.  So what is really going on with Copyright Infringement, and to what extent is this search real? First let's go to a reputable publication, sayyyyy, I Know "The New York Times" yes... they will do. It would appear that laws are cracking down and are quite severe all over the world. BUT WHO STARTED THIS and WHY!!! "...the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation seized the Web site Megaupload... [well there goes MY educational classes in Film from SENTIENTMIND] ...and charged seven people connected with it with running an international enterprise based on Internet piracy." 

 

So how to approach this??? What do "honest folks do" who are just trying to make music with one another, teach classes on Adobe or Vegas Pro, or create Seminars where data will be shared...  When the budinskies keep sticking their noses in our work, and determine that it really isn't our work, now what? Joining ASCAP and larger Organizations like BMI greatly help. Here you can get your Licensing and IRSC numbers straight.

You must cover your work as it would seem that even Twitter is on board with allowing privacy intrusions... 

US government leads Twitter data requests ByMatt Warman

The American Government made nearly 700 requests for Twitter user data, compared to just 11 from the UK.

The report follows a long-running, similar process from Google, and reveals for the first time the numbers of government requests received for user information; government requests received to withhold content; and official take-down notices received from copyright holders. 

So will Blogs disappear, will sharing now become a crime, will Indie Music now become a hassle to work with our International Artists Friends from around the world??? It's all quite annoying because now what will happen with the Companies like Native Instruments? Will we, the small Labels and growing Artists, be able to continue to work with them and their "samples?" Or is one more thing going to become "for the elite only?" I'm not sure, what I am sure of is this. Align yourself with bigger guns like ASCAP and BMI and get the IRSC numbers that will protect your work, and if your working with someone it will protect both of you. Music has completely changed over the years, but one thing is true, as I sit here on "Independence Day" and write this... for the USA to involve themselves and entrench themselves so deeply in everyone's business is appalling. Why do I say this? Because we started this crap and it is beyond ridiculous considering it is US Companies that designed "down loadable programs" for Music, Film-Videos, and related Industry products. Was it a trap all along? We will never know, so share.... share like never before. Educate yourself about your own Countries Laws. Educate your Friends. Be aware of what is around you and who really wants to work as a team for the good of everyone in the world. But most of all keep writing Music, it may be our last chance to get something good into the world that last.

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."

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.
