Fun Science Fiction Film Easter Egg Hunt! Win Music Prizes!

Find Easter Eggs and win an Autographed Songbook and Digital Soundtrack!

An Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in a work such as a computer program, movie, book, or crossword. This practice is similar in some respects to hidden signature motifs such as Diego Rivera's including himself in his murals, Alfred Hitchcock's legendary cameo appearances (hint), Fritz's appearances in the works of Chris van Allsburg, and various "Hidden Mickeys" that can be found throughout the various Disney Parks. - Wikipedia (of course)

The rules are easy!

1. Watch Libertaria: The Virtual Opera

2. Jot down the time code for every film, book, art, music, or sci-fi reference that you can find (both in the visuals, lyrics and the music) with a short description.


Pris from Blade Runner makes an appearance at 24:16 in Libertaria.

For the example above, just write "24:16 Pris from Blade Runner".

Pris The Replicant

3. Send your list of Easter Eggs to penayoungmusic@gmail.com by Easter Day (April 20th. 2014) with the heading "Libertaria Easter Egg Hunt".

You should have a minimum of 10 references, but there are many more added by the animators and composer. Groups of people may enter together and each will receive a digital album, however, only one autographed songbook will be mailed out.

The winner will be announced by May 1. If you win the Libertaria Easter Egg Hunt, then you will be contacted via e-mail for a preferred mailing address for the songbook (domestic US only will receive the autographed songbook). If you are international, you will receive digital copies of the songbook, the digital album, and other fun goodies!

There will be one winner from the US and one international winner announced. If you are from outside the US, please state your country of origin in your Subject Heading "Libertaria Easter Egg Hunt: Japan" so you can enter the international contest.

Have fun! And join up with friends to win the Libertaria Easter Egg Hunt!

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.

In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
