This is a great idea and a worthy cause and fun as well so congrats on getting 3 out of 3!! The music behind this was originally written by me for a documentary on workers rights in South America but was never used in the final edit and the copyright is mine. I thought the style of the music provided a construction sounding bed for the words which are there to be built on. The Title is ” Words can be barbed but not wire”

I do not like it when politicians use fear as a tool to manipulate the voters!

Tha Human overall, is still savage…

I believe in the universality of truth, the freedom of thought and belief, and the importance of compassion for all, regardless of what each person believes or disbelieves. The “instrument” here is my own voice, sequenced through the Sawcutter 2.0 synthesizer. I hope it joins the chorus who wish to give each mind the freedom to find its own heavens and hells.

A simple ambient, big-beat remix of the preamble. This is serious material, so my main goal was to make the music support the text and to avoid messing with the recording too much. I wanted to communicate the gravity and importance of the declaration while also providing a sense of hope. Heavy and light.

Another difficult one, due to the source i didn’t want to go my usual route of cutting everything up beyond recognition. I guess this is a fairly ’safe’ version of what i could have done.

Yes, my little opus here really is 15 minutes long, but there really was no way i could cut this. Which is one reason this is last on the list. Plus, I was the last one done. There are many ways to get your message heard, but your message will never be heard through censorship or repression of free speech. Music is one of the strongest forms of communication across cultural lines and language barriers, and universally brings people together rather than driving them apart. It only seemed natural to me to want to craft music around David’s excellent reading of the articles, and I feel the music I chose to back him could not be more appropriate. Om Mani Padme Hum is probably the most famous mantra in Buddhism, the six syllabled mantra of the bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan Chenrezig, Chinese Guanyin). The mantra is particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara. The Dalai Lama is said to be an incarnation of Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara, so the mantra is especially revered by his devotees and it is commonly carved onto rocks and written on paper which is then inserted into prayer wheels to increase its effects. Thanks to Buddha Net Audio for the mantra.
