Mit dem Wind - adaptation by Mindmovie featuring Sara England from aeronaut

aeronaut — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 06:34:13 GMT

Description: For my international "On the wind" project on myspace, I asked several people to write a version in their own language and style for my song. Mindmovie is the first to come up with a beautiful german version called "Mit dem Wind". The german speaking people will notice that is freely translated lyrics are really beautiful and at the same time true to the original. The music is, as we are used from him impeccable. Sara England's emotional singing goes straight to the heart. Amazing work by 2 great artists here on mi7.

Mit dem Wind Mit dem Wind
 Ziehst du davon
 gehst dahin im Flammenmeer
 Feuer brennt so lodernd heiß
 und mein Herz, gefriert zu Eis

Du bist fort
 in eine andr’e Welt
 Und dein letzter Gruß
 verweht am Himmelszelt
 Nie wusste ich das Morgenlicht
 So kalt mir in die Seele sticht

Ich laufe weg
 verberge mich
 was immer ich auch tu
 vergessen kann ich nicht
 Die Zeit mit Dir hier Jahr um Jahr
 All Dein Trost wenn ich mal traurig war

Auf dem Wind
 und außer Sicht
 Dein letzter Flug
 In’s helle Licht
 Das Feuer brennt ich bin allein,
doch am Ende werd’ ich bei Dir sein
 Feuer brennt so lodernd heiß
 und mein Herz, gefriert zu Eis
 Bin alleine...

Mindmovie — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:17:03 GMT

Although This side is now soooo painfully slow that it is no longer a real funny thing to upload something - here is a new song. Welcome to any visitor who wants to leave a comment about the music. This title features Sara England on vocals - she as well as myself have discovered what it means when you a re trying to build a "house of love" with the wrong person. That's what this song is about.

Calling All Interested mi7 Musicians from Raven

Raven — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 00:27:42 GMT

As all of you know, I am a devoted mom as well as a composer and musician. And as all of you know, I am a very vocal advocate for Autism Rights.

I enjoyed participating in Mindmovie's CCC project so much a few months ago that I was thinking it would be interesting to create a similar recording with snippets of my son's insights regarding Autism from an interview done with him in July 2007 and the update interview that was done with him last month.

What I am thinking of doing is using his comments along the lines of a hip hop / vocal dance mix composition. The purpose of the song would be to bring a better, more positive understanding of how children with Autism perceive the world in which they live ... our world, not their world.

I can only offer credits in lieu of money unfortunately. All of you are such incredible artists and all of you have been such good online friends to me in good times and in the most troubling times these past few months.

If you are interested in participating in this project (which would be promoted globally with links back to your websites or to your mi7 profile page just as our MIC Audio Podcasts on Autism are global), please email me at ravenmagic2003@yahoo.ca.

Thanks.

Raven :-)

computing humor from rodney

rodney — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:10:46 GMT

Quotes of the day:

Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up. ...The lack of attention to usability represented by these experiences blows my mind. I thought we had reached a low with Windows Network places or the messages I get when I try to use 802.11. (don't you just love that root certificate message?)

Now you're thinking "oh God, another Linux zealot going off about Windows"... until you see who wrote it: Bill Gates. Full story at Gizmodo Note: this is actually an old story about Windows XP. Vista, as we all know by now, is even worse.

Symbian is Free Software from rodney

rodney — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:07:47 GMT

News just in is that Nokia have bought up Symbian, and intend to release it as Free Software (under the Eclipse Public License) as of today. As far as I'm aware Symbian is currently the most widely used Operating System in the world - there were 100 million phones running Symbian in 2006 - so this means that as of this moment Free Software is now more widely used than proprietary software. That's a pretty significant shift in the way of things, especially considering Symbian own 67% of the smartphone market, with Windows Mobile holding only 13%...

Real World stuff from rodney

rodney — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:42:03 GMT

Oh, forgot to mention in the last post: I've been spending some time recently talking with The Cedars, winners of the MI7 Real World contest. Looks like the plan is for me to produce the session at Real World Studios sometime next month, if all goes well. I'm very much looking forward to it, they are a great band, and I think we could create some damn fine tracks there. Let's see...

back from being a hermit from rodney

rodney — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:36:40 GMT

I haven't been posting much in the past couple of months, mainly because I've been taking time to work on a new book and get some personal business stuff out of the way.

Things are looking interesting though... we've been approached about a new record deal, and asked to play some more festivals at the end of the year / beginning of next year. So the plan is to spend as much time as possible in the studio over the next few months and finally finish off all of the things that have been sitting on the hard drive for ages in a half-finished state.

So someday soon I might even get round to putting some new songs on the music player! :-)
