"Al Gore Rhythm"

As we've seen with the growing popularity of presidential candidates, music helps a message arrive to the discussion-inhibited. In that same vein, I have recently finished a music video remix of Al Gore's testimony to Congress on Global Warming in 2007. The track I produced for the video has been called "trance" by some. I came to this forum to ask you all if it really is trance? I dont know, I just produced it from the emotional depths of whatever I am. Please watch.

looks like you spent a lot of time on this some cool ideas in the music and i think you worked with his voice pretty well.

ugh can't listen to al gore's stupid bullshit

wow man that's some nice editing, real cool. how long did this take you?

Posted by Plomomedia on Feb-25-2008 20:05:

thanks. It took me a long long time. I've been living it and breathing it for at least 4-5 months now. Woven into the edits is a good amount of reflection and personal introspection that, coming out on the other end, has changed my life. thanks again, glad you like it.

it reminds me a lot of your 'mistakes aren't forgotten' track, except not as good

@OP - i think a more accurate description is 'progressive house'. it's a little muzaky, which is understandable given the fact that you want the listener to focus more on gore's words

I hope that's not an attempt at 'disruption' cause i totally agree with you: Zombie0729's "mistakes aren't forgotten" is much better! warm rich sounds, I admire it a lot.

nope, just making an observation

@Plomo: weird, I was just about to friend you; you beat me to it, haha.

I just watched the vid again, damn impressive. And I'd skipped over the fact earlier that you'd produced the music yourself - nice!

this is so fucking awesome.

Posted by Sadface on Feb-26-2008 02:23:

Very well done.

Sorry, but this reminded me of crappy grade-school science videos (which is sort of what it is, I'm aware).

like those 3-2-1 Classroom Contact shows.

it's interesting, the mixed reviews. some say it's great. some say it sucks. sometimes I think it's great. sometimes I think it sucks. makes sense.
