Here is version 2 of the song "Fly" using Lizziemackies' instrumental.

My wish for this would be if someone could add a harmony to this. Add voices, backing vocals, more instruments..it would mean a lot! I can upload stems if needed.

Here are the lyrics:

I've lived the age of man in a day

And sunk down like soft wood

In a stream

I've been washed clean

And I guess it comes as part of life

That part of me should die

But that's no reason to say I'm sorry

Because I was born to crack round the edges

Born to catch a cold

I was born to fall and scrape my knees 

And I was born to grow old

I was born to die

But most of all

I was born to fly

I've seen my face in stars, in the trees

And footprints melt like honey on the beach

Out of reach

And I guess it comes as part of love

That you'll be sad to see me go

But now my body's earth

New stars can grow

Because I was born to crack round the edges

Born to catch a cold

I was born to fall and scrape my knees 

And I was born to grow old

I was born to die

But most of all

I was born to fly

They can try all they want to tame a heart

But secretly they know

You can't lasoo a river

And tell it where to flow

Cos love is just the palms of your hand

Unnoticed unfamiliar

But still you understand

The reasons why

You were born to fly

And then it began,

Strange things at sunset.

No people,

Silence,

The Rapture.

He blew bubbles holding sea creatures, and hoped they'd find the ocean before they popped. 

She closed her eyes to avoid losing her head, but it was too late.

I think this little tune may work for an animation of sorts. I was playing some other tune when i started messing with this. Was going to make a brickman stopmotion animation myself but I havent got the time at the moment. But I will do one day. 

But I would love to see this in a video or something, sorry hear it I mean. 

Thanks ;-)

... it represents an idea in its infancy (like most of my records).

Its far from what I think it could be, which isn't just "Madame X" but a collection of images inspired by some of the poetry in the public domain. There are a lot of really talented writers here on hitRECord, tons of inspiration for records and remixes, but I think it would be super neat to see some interpretations of some of the older (public domain) poetry. thanks.

This RECord was inspired by a line from 'Les Illuminations' by Arthur Rimbaud.

Made a Paris-influenced song!

old apophysis

She tried to walk her birds, but the wind blew the door open and they all flew away.

I made this stop-motion animated short for my thesis in college (animation).  The great musical score is by Ihor Dawidiuk (ihordawidiuk.com).

I call him Gwarmp

again, shes older. more rebelious...um.... i dunno im really bad at explaining these things.

I added to 'slay the wolf' top to show something like about women aren't just waiting to be rescued, you can do it yourself

anyway, i hope it suits the feminism themey xxx

Fun with synthesizers yay

Use them as you like :D

As I float by

My eyes can't see for the sunshine

Taking it easy

Birds singing spring time lullabies

As I float by

As I float by

I added a little harmony to eaneikciv's tiny tune :)

the stem is here: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/732030

I can't wait for everyone's voices to be merged together! I'd do it, but I'm not that good at it and it would take me forever. ;)

Added some vocals to amferraro's denial. Used records by wirrow and lidan to supply the lyrics. :)

Pen on paper.

I wanted to play with some layering on these fall formal edits. I had BUNCH of other layers, but then I scrapped them and left two.  I was recently working on a behind the scenes video outside hitrecord, so maybe that multiple camera angle thing i was going for there, rubbed off on me here. I also, like it without the layers, but I wanted to do something differentish.

let me know if it works. open to suggestions

Side Note: I think Sia is a goddess and i want to make love to her hips, ammiright people? what a body on that girl! meow!

I doddle.

i was going to give you wings for your birthday, but then i realized you already had a pair! <3

kind of rough and needs work but just wanted to see how it might sound.

So I added a touch of distortion to parts of Pammy's vocals and I messed with the drums a tad and TRIED to mix the song but I seriously SUCK at mixing so if anyone wants to try and mix this I will definitely upload the stems. 

Hope you like it. 

I directed/animated this music video with a few friends.  We like to call it a low-fi, arts and crafts, stop-motion history of the world.

The song is called Thick as Thieves, by the band Kalle Mattson.

"And then we realized we will be here forever" - Tiny Story by Lidan

I left a lot of extra at the end if anyone wants to add to it. If not I'd probably fade it out a little sooner. And as always, I recorded this pretty quickly and there's a few mistakes (including that you can hear the metronome in the first couple seconds, whoops!). Plus my house just will not be quiet, who knew a three year old house would be so creaky?

Anyway, If anyone wants stems, just ask. It's a whole lot of vocal layers, each with a different vocal effect, so let me know if you want them all or just the raw stems.

ManwithHat's Beneath Her has always been my favorite piece of writing on HitRecord or any where really :) Its a beautiful idea, and I always wanted to play with those words visually 

This is a little different than most of my Tiny Tunes, instead of beginning as a Tiny Story, it started as a little song first and I'm hoping it will maybe inspire a Tiny Story.

I have this one idea that maybe there's a special Shadow Being cast only by the glow of night lights that puts people to sleep at night and takes them to a dreamland. I could see this being animated, or even just flashing photos, illustrations, and footage found on the site, and speeding up at the "ahhh" part of the song. It would be a good way to incorporate a whole lot of people's work into this 1 minute song.

So I came across a photo by jestferlaffs, and this weird little video happened... I would love to see how this could be remixed. It should be able to play continuously on a loop.

ps. I highly recommend downloading it - all the grainy texture which helps add to the creepiness can't be seen when you watch it on here.

Chapter #2, the noondays, thanks to every single person that made this fantastic records.

I hope you enjoy this second part of the Shadows Project, tomorrow I'll be uploading chapter #3.

:O)

Hope you all like this! :)

Chapter IV and V will be uploaded tomorrow!!! :)

Recent painting done on masonite. New series of earthly creatures. 

I tried to replicate an accurate Boards Of Canada sound one day, of course I failed miserably. Never going to use this, thought it might be useful here for cutting/chopping.

Footage is titled "A Trip to the Planets" and is part of the Prelinger archive (archive.org)

The movie can be found at http://archive.org/details/trip_to_the_planets and is under a Creative Commons Public Domain copyright.

The samples are pieces from aszarkowski's reading of Metaphorest's poem titled "And it was all a dream"

I'd like to throw out enormous bags of "Dear, Great Punta. Thank You, so Much[es]" to MILKOFPARADISE, marcellepallais and MattConley for helping me get this HitRecord-ready.

Have a little drink with me?

a texture collage remix...

I had to replace a sample of Humphrey being amazing in the Maltese Falcon and aszarkowski's reading of Metaphorest's poem, along with the subject matter, seemed perfect to take his place.

A short adventurous song :)

Playing round with some jazzy sounding chords. Maybe someone can bass, sing, guitar solo or piano over this?

Why did you tear it apart? 
I can still see the scars.  

Nothing Big, just like ten different angles and nearly 60 different cuts.

:-)

No layers, No color correcting, no big cutarounds... I would say that this Edit's camera people win the prize for the Fall Formal Live Edit's most consistent  bunch, good job. And uh....

I don't have anything to give you, but this...

and thanks to Dr. Gory, whatta guy, whatta camera operator...

Wanna say big ups to spencer, you know what you did, definitely should win a crown or something... but i don't have one. Sorry...

I turned off 30 rock to cut this, and i DON'T ever do that! This was a 4 and half hour cut session, but I am also wicked fast. Thanks to Will Colby, who is not on hitrecord for teaching me to be quick...

Ok.. just watch it, in full screen ... and then tell me what i can do better. (on second note, if you have any faith, just download this and watch it on your computer, if your internet connection is as crap as mine, you're missing out)

This is the Chapter V, Gloams, thanks to everyone for creating these fantastic records for the shadow beings collab, tomorrow I'll be uploading chapter VI and on sunday, the last 2, Chapter VII and a video with all the chapters in one.

Hope you like it guys!!! :)

This is a really rough idea of what I visualized when I wrote the tiny story I reposted below, I have very limited photo editting and illustration skills, hahaha. Hopefully someone can take the idea and run farther with it (:

"She was always a little different from the rest of them.
They'd shut their eyes and see the backs of eyelids, the black.
She only saw a darkness with her eyes wide open.
But with her eyes closed? That's when she had a beautiful world of her own."
