Second try. The first one felt ...overexcited, I guess.

Here's where we're at with Sean Ono Lennon's "Nebulullaby" as of Tuesday night. Let this be a continued call to all hitRECorders to hit that RECord button and send along any musical parts you're inclined to. If you listen intently, you'll note the spots where we're looking for parts to add to each planet/verse's character.

Mind you, we're still in process...Things will change a bit from what you hear here and will be added-to, based on what brilliance comes down the interpike from our talented community. Let's have it! Thanks to all for your contributions so far : )

And now, ATTENTION MUSICIANS WHO WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS COLLABORATION: Some notes from Cat Solen, co-director (with Regular Joe) of the short film this music will drive. They describe the personalities and circumstances of the individual planets as portrayed in the film. They're meant to inspire your musical ideas. We're treating this recording as part traditional song, part film score. So ultimately, we want each verse/planet to have a unique musical stamp, while still keeping things cohesive. I'll chime in with my own musical interpretations here and there below.

Mercury: He's skittish, flighty. Paranoid, freaked-out. He's wild. But he comes in at the beginning of the song, so we could call this a 'controlled freakout'.

Venus: She is very "Old Hollywood". Graceful, but shallow and narcissistic.

Mars: He's a little crazy. Aggressive. Holst put big drums behind him in his composition "The Planets". Hmmm...

Jupiter: He's a worried insomniac. He's a guy with a lot of secrets. He's trying to hide his fears. He's the most static, slow, and still of the characters.

Saturn: She's like a child lost in some kind of wonderland that she can't quite understand. She can't really control her grief, sadness, and depression, but she's resigned to it…She's just kind of bored and numb.

Uranus: He's a guy who maybe took some wrong potion or drug that has resulted in what is either a night terror or some kind of hallucination. He's a little on the nervous side.

Pluto: Is really sad and alone. He's innocent. This would be a good place for long, sweeping sounds.

This a test about the colorisation of the lipsticks, it's not perfect, especially at the end, I think I've got a problem of eyesight. Do we see the lipsticks when she puts lipsticks on the lower lips or not?

Otherwise, I'm working on the red lips, and about this, I have got few questions :
Do you like this red? Another idea?
Before Destiny puts lipsticks on, does she already have red lips?
Do you prefer that Destiny Doubleglass has the same red lips or in different color?

Haven't figured out how to NOT post the same thing numerous times... Help? ;)

Video inspired by line in Metaphorest's, Morgan M Morgansen’s Date with Destiny: “Capricitous califrag Morgan M. Morgansen stood in the longroom of his fourwalls, narcissising himself in the doubleglass.”

Since you never see Destiny “narcissing herself in the doubleglass" pre date, we decided to demonstrate what a personette looks like when she prepares. Though the dancey ditty was choreographed to The Ditty Bops’ "Your Head's Too Big" we added Madrond101’s piano audio from Morgan to set the tone.

What we were hoping to happen next:
-Narration (we would love a monologuey tale or a clowny song of a personette preparing!)
-Score (some tunes to portray her datesoon nerves – we love Madrond101’s piano, but that’s what plays when Morgan prepares. Destiny prepares to something that makes her lips cherried to the max!)
-Extra girly wardrobe room (ribbons and BOWS everywhere – pink – red lips)
-what else? Anyone else wanna RECord themselves personette preparing?

My roommate Meagan and I did a dancey datesoon Destiny video of her getting ready for her Morgan date! We decided that since you never see "Destiny narcissing herself in the doubleglass" pre date - we should demonstrate what a personette looks like when she prepares. Elibeckg (http://www.hitrecord.org/users/elibeckg) is finishing up the edit - but sent me these screen shots and so I wanted to share. He is going to upload the video without music or words and we're hoping for some help in coming up with Destiny's inner monologue or a song to portray her giddy & painty nerves on her much anticipated datesoon... start brainstormin : )
