Frank,
I’m writing to tell what a honor it is to have you broadcast me on your radio, I came across reviews of you and took a peep at your presidential campain web site ( I’d sure vote for you ! 😀 )
But I can’t…And if I could, I’d vote, but still would do some political art 🙂
Frank, I’m looking for a label for business opportunities and help me financially for upcoming collaborations and possibilities.
Could you recommend me someone, sympathetic to political art and my kind of music ?
I’ll keep you posted on every new track,
Thank you,
Rafael

feel free to do political art about my campaign! we’ll put it on the site. where do you live?
i’m not into business. so i’m not the one to ask about that. most labels i like are labors of love and passion.

Salut Frank,
J’viens d’Montréal, au Québec. Pero mi padre es espanol.
Frank, I’d love to do so, but I’d need audio material to sample: can you provide samples of your speeches ? Has someone talked about you on the radio, or spoke with your words ?
.WAV files would be the best, mp3’s could do the trick, as I master every track anyways ( or is there links of yours on the net from which I can recuperate the audio bits ? )
I’ll be waiting to hear from you,
À bientôt,
Rafael

great, rafael! if you scroll down http://www.frankmooreforpresident08.com/, on the right side of the page there are links to audio and videos of interviews, speeches, etc. if you find bits you want to use but can’t use that format, we will make you copies.
In Freedom,

Hi Frank,
Rafael speaking: Received the audio material from Mikee, it’s what I wanted
to work with 🙂
I’ll choose from the different topics and will certainlly pick the best and
more chevalresque audio bit to go along with the music:
I have an idea…
Frank, it will most certainlly take a few weeks, I’ll try to have it done
before October.
Au plaisir d’ici là,
Rafael

Hi Frank,
How are you doing ?
Here, a new job, back to school and of course, as allways, music in my free time ( well, for the time I have left ).
Nevertheless, you’ll be glad to know that the instrumentals is done for our track on your campain speeches and ideas.
I’ve tried on the “on Irak” speech your friend and translater had recording for you ( she has a hell of a beautifull voice, you should tell her 🙂
I’ll try to have this done by two to three weeks, as I master all individual instrument tracks this weekend and might mix and master the final thing sometime next week and beyond.
In conclusion, the music is passionated, will blend well with the speeches. Also, I’ve decided to make a pot-pourri with all the themes ( track is about 4 minutes if I’m not mistaking ).
Remember, my goal is to touch people’s imaginary, to raise my subjects to the level of legends and myth.
I hope I succeed,
Until sooner than I think I hope,
Rafael ( Ledit RenArt )

Hi Frank,
I’m a couple kilometers from the end of the track ( individual tracks are now mastered and will do the overall volume mixing + overall master in the two to four weeks to come ).
This means it will be done before election day.
I wan’t it to be a surprise: I’ll send you the mp3 when done and a copy of the final master by the mail on a cd, if ever you guys wan’t to enhance the quality later on.
I’m as exited as you are to have it finished and out there 😀
In the mean time, I sincerelly hope the campaign is going well
I hope you’ll be able to mobilise the artists in the States, as you’ve mobilised me to fight for the right thing.
A bientôt,
Rafael

Frank,
Actually, give me up to next week and I’ll have that voice volume problem solved ( maybe sooner than I think though ( putting 3 to 4 hours daylly): the problem was that Linda sometimes was near or far from the mic, but I’ll just saturate the volume of the voice tracks so it levels equally,
So don’t broadcast yet ! I wan’t for you to have to best mix posible 🙂
For the music itself, nothing will change, I consider it done, just the volume of the voices compared to the instrumentals ( trying to blend everything together instead of having the voice loud and the rest quiet,

it is amazing, rafael! saturday we did a live 3-hour performance with my band the cherotic all-stars…amazing musicians! one things i did was to have an audience member read my long speech over the live band jamming as i danced nude erotically with linda, erika and jen under strobes and slides. the effect was very similar to your piece.

Frank,
Ledit RenArt à son poste,
Cette fois-ci, c’est la bonne : here it is again.
Used another technique to melt the speech into the music.
Well Frank, I’ve dreamed of a day where artists would march on Washington, with their music and their ideas, and poetry, and paintings and drawings, to make them understand that if we don’t wan’t to live inside their Matrix, that there is an alternative way, a peacefull way.
I wan’t this to be free of their ways, their hypocrysie, their thirst for performance and competition.
You know Frank, I’ve been trying hard to clear the rights of the speeches I use, just to be clear, and avoid posible, yet relative risks.
It led me to very little up to now.
And I’m almost desapointed in politics and legal society. There is false messias, messias…
Mais d’autres gens devraient dire: hey, I just believe in those things, we don’t impose them, but we think it’s right, let’s turn the page, let’s build together.
That’s what’s missing in your country: alternative recognized party’s, with equal respect from the establishment than for the two majors .
And perhaps a less imposing international responsibility: if the United States are to be a World leader, they should assume fully their responsibilities in term of promoting the best for Human Kind and the planet, and making war and exploiting so much petrolium isin’t the solution to what we are and will be facing in the future.
Then people would vote.
Frank, thanks for ‘Tribus: this is war’, I saw it was to be aired on your channel ! 😀
Anyways, it’s my entire pleasure to have composed this tracks over your ideals.
And I find we have a good vibe together on this, with Linda’s beatifull voice, and Michael’s help and I guess Nick’s help too,
Et ben, moi je suis cent pour cent derrière vous et je vous encourage fort de la part d’un Québec qui veut pas se laisser faire non plus ! 😀
A bientôt,
Rafael
