I’m making music videos with a variety of singing stars from Hedra. Think of these as demos rather than finished products. I try to match the ai performer with the projected performer that I think would sell the song the best.This is how, if I were still in the music business, I would sell my songs today. Remember, it’s not publishers anymore, not like it was when you couldn’t write a song without permission from the guild, but the process remains the same.
It’s still WHO sings the song that makes it, not the song itself, although that is one of the lesser factors.
People are not buying sheet music, which was the goal of early music publishers — the singer simply popularized and promoted the song, but the real sales were in sheet music, and much later, Victrola 78 rpm very breakable records.
I try to give the singer some personality and some sort of direct connection with the song, which brings the total time I spend for each music video at one to two hours, which includes placing it on my youtube channel and including it in my daily blog.
Unless the storm troopers are actually at the front door, I don’t want to hear another friggin’ word about politics.
There’s really nothing to discuss. Two massive populations, directly opposed in their views, is not the conversation I want to have at breakfast, lunch or dinner.
If you’re going to talk politics, do it out of doors, like smoking a cigarette.
I departed quite a distance from Parker’s original version of this song, which used an old Irish folk tune as its melody.
I have no control over what the melody is, nor what key it’s in, but I figure that this would be the problem of whatever band wanted to use it in their repertoire or on an album.
Now, the next video deals with how to create a character that looks like he or she sounds, and this I believe I have accomplished at least a few times in this first rush to publication.
Back in 1978, when we were walking around a TV station in Vancouver, Damon Knight said, “I can tell you a secret that took me 25 years to learn, and will take you 25 years to figure out what I meant. A story is a map for the reader to find his or her way to the headspace of the writer.”
Sure enough, as he predicted, it took years for that idea to truly sink in.
Now cybercurrency is a different matter entirely. Here’s my take on the whole scene as it is right now:
I thought this might have a tough time because of the strange meter that Parker used when he sa
Lonni Thompson really sends this classic out, very expressive and touching.
Yeah, bought and sold, freedom ain’t free…
…and now, about breaking news on top of breaking news…
That’s all the Hedra Singing Heads music videos I’ve done for tonight. Tune in for more!
See You At The Top!!!
