All LittleBeth's RECords
This may be too late or not exactly what you need, but here's a little edit of Morgan's sound & score being developed at Sundance (with a bumper). Good luck with the screening tonight!
My first try at cutting up Sundance clips for the Documentary Collaboration. Hopefully I'll find time for a second extended edit before Friday. Thank you to everyone who provided clips. I've loved experiencing New Frontiers through my computer screen.

This song was inspired by the true story captured in Trent Harris's series of vignette films comprised in 'The Beaver Trilogy', which incidentally screened at Sundance in 2001. This film might be of interest to Hitrecorders since it is a bit of a Remix in itself. The trilogy started when Harris made a documentary about a young entertainer called Groovin' Gary who put on a talent contest in his local town to showcase his Olivia Newton John impersonation. Harris then remade Gary's story as a black & white student film starring a before-he-was-famous Sean Penn. He finally wrote and directed a full colour dramatised short film of Gary's story starring Crispin Glover. It's a great story in all its incarnations though sadly the Beaver Trilogy was never officially released since the filmmakers weren't given the rights to Olivia's song (oh, the evils of copyright!) http://www.echocave.net/Beaver_Trilogy.html
So this is my own little tribute to the saga, trying to keep the spirit of the movie alive, especially since I've found out that the original Groovin' Gary passed away last year.

This is an Old Record that I'm blowing the cobwebs off. I made a little 5 track CD with my brother when we were still teenagers. I haven't sung or written lyrics in a long long time, but now that I'm here I'm hoping to try a little acapella, harmonies, adding lyrics & vocals to existing music records - things like that. But in the meantime I thought I'd share some of these old songs that I'm still quite fond of.
'Lazy Bones' was partly inspired by the Italian phrase 'Dolce far niente' which translates as 'a pleasant idleness' or 'doing sweet nothing'. The song is about how most days are unremarkable and how we make our peace with that.
Vocals & Lyrics = Me
Guitar & Composition = my brother, Adam

Voices from the Courtroom Text Intro: If same-sex couples could enter into marriage, it would not change that institution of marriage. It would COMPLETE marriage. Legislatively and judicially, evolutions in our culture have always improved marriage and our society... Voice 1: Being married gives us access to THE LANGUAGE. We don’t like calling each other ‘partner’. When I’ve opened a bank account saying “My partner and I want to bank together”, they want to know what kind of business we’re in. When we travel, the desk clerk will look at us perplexed if my partner and I order a king side bed. Everyone understands what the term HUSBAND means. Voice 2: She’s my WIFE, but I can’t really say that word, even to those who know what it means. We aren’t business partners. We aren’t girlfriends. We aren’t glorified roommates. Our relationship is that we are SPOUSES. The only difference is that we can’t marry. Voice 1: He is the love of my life. I love him more than myself, in sickness, in health, until death parts us. I would do anything for him. If expression of love is the purpose of marriage, then can we really say to a bisexual – a person who loves two people, one of each sex – that they don’t have the same right to express their love for one of those people? Voice 2: Marriage has a special meaning. We want to share in the joy and happiness our parents felt, our friends and neighbors felt, when they were married. Marriage would afford us inclusion within the fabric of society we live in. Our family could feel proud. Our children could be proud. The quality of a good parent is not based on the gender of that parent, but ON THE QUALITY OF THE HEART. Voice 1: Proposition 8 used children in their campaign; ‘Protect the Children’. When I think of protecting children, I think of protecting them from harm; protecting them from drugs or a pedophile or a criminal — something that could harm your child. It’s so INSULTING even to insinuate that I am part of that criminal category. To lump this issue together — to say that our marriage means a child will be harmed. Voice 2: The campaign focused on how children needed protection from our marriage. That felt so manipulative. It was harmful to our family, to our children and our community. It was as if there was great evil that needed to be stopped — and that evil was, I guess, US? The best thing for children is to have loving parents, who love each other and love them. There’s really nothing more I can say about that. Voice 1: We have to deal with this constant validation of self. Why should we have to settle for a subchapter partnership? Why should we be excluded? Why shouldn’t we have a right to use the same terms? I’m not less patriotic. I’m not a lesser American. So I’m tired of these constant reminders. I’m tired of being put in a corner and being told that I am different. |

I haven't contributed anything to the grand and glorious Morgan Collaboration yet, but I have been watching all the contributions and have loved seeing this piece come together. At the same time, I was replaying 'The New Deal' and wondering if there was a small piece of it I might want to play around with. When it came to Joe describing how a collaborative project develops, I felt inspired to pay tribute to the wonderful blossoming of HitRECord's own Triple M.
