* LMM 2.4 – Geochemistry

LMM, The Movie

I am very proud to announce this month’s release, which is more than a music album. It’s a collection of ten music videos by some very talented film-makers. Unlike the process for most music videos, these songs were written after the films were completed, creating sounds to fit the images, rather than the other way around. Though all the films were made separately, without a unifying theme in mind, I think the title “Geochemistry” manages to encompass them all. The word also shows up in this month’s cover art, crafted by Scott Godfrey:

Though it was hard to pick just one out of the resulting variety of videos, “All In A Summer’s Day,” animated by Tony Moore, is this month’s single:

Please watch all of the new videos here.

In addition to the stems and sheet music we usually give away (on our contribute page), we are also releasing silent versions of all the films for you to score yourself (all in a big ZIP file). As usual, everything is offered under a CC 3.0 by-nc-sa license.

I can’t say THANK YOU enough to all the filmmakers who contributed pieces to this project. So I’ll do it again:

Rollin Hunt, THANK YOU!

Eli Rarey, THANK YOU!

Tony Moore, THANK YOU!

Alex Jablonski, THANK YOU!

David Fenster, THANK YOU!

Lee Anne Schmitt, THANK YOU!

PJ Wyderka, THANK YOU!

Kate Dollenmayer, THANK YOU!

Emily Lacy, THANK YOU!

Clay Dean and Tuni Chatterji, THANK YOU!

I couldn’t be happier with the results. Look out: I think there may be another LMM video collection in the near future. See you next month. Sincerely,

JW
