At any hour, from any place, experience a modern play…with
Magnatune Music
Houston Playwright Michael S. Crawford has founded an
innovative online project PlaysinPerpetuity.com where original plays are
produced specifically for the internet.
Michael contacted us about licensing
the beautiful baroque music of Ensemble Mirable for his new play ‘Writing a Woman' about “as many
kinds of love as people on earth.”
He was complimentary about licensing with Magnatune
“Their tagline is ‘We are not evil,’ and I can attest to the fact it makes the
process of finding and licensing music move at about 100 times the normal
rate. Good people and easy to work
with.”
Ensemble
Mirable was choosen because their music was “the most appropriate fit with how the play
feels.” The Ensemble is an award-winning
San Francisco-based band who performs rare cello and
continuo works by Triemer, Geminiani, and various lesser-known baroque
composers.
An idea whose time has come,
PlaysInPerpetuity.com presents modern dramas online. The plays are filmed using one camera, from
one perspective, rendering a genuine theatrical experience and available to
anyone with a computer.
A prolific playwright, Michael already has a new work in
development 'Confession...(A Hell of a Thing)' which should premier this
spring. The wonderful music of Japanese
flutist Tilopa will be used in the play. Listen to Tilopa at http://www.magnatune.com/artists/tilopa

Gothic Bellydance meets Gothic Music
Since 2000, WorldDance New York has produced numerous highly-regarded commercial, promotional, and non-profit video projects that present incredible belly dance, flamenco, samba fitness workouts and professional level dance training and choreography videos.
The dynamic company recently licensed the music of Magnatune middle-eastern fusion artist Shiva in Exile for their dance DVD ‘Revelation’ currently in production. The project is the successor to their successful Gothic Bellydance series
Shiva in Exile was requested by none other than Jeniviva, described as the “best-known and most gorgeous Goth” in New York City. "I discovered Shiva in Exile and fell in love with the track Nomad" enthused Jeniviva "The song has so much beauty and power to it, the singer's vocals also sent bolts of emotion straight to my gut...how could I not dance to that? Nomad is simply moving and powerful."
World music is one of Magnatune’s best selling genres and in addition to Shiva in Exile, artists such as Falik and Solace are very popular
with Middle Eastern dancers.
WorldDance videos posted on YouTube are a real
visual treat. Check them out at http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=StudioEast

100% Legal Music for YouTube, Revver, Blip TV....
We love it when videomakers use Magnatune for their projects,
so when YouTube enthusiasts starting contacting us about including our artists,
it seemed a good time to introduce a special music license policy.
Posting on commercial sites like YouTube and Revver has emerged as an important way for video producers to distribute their work. However, finding low-cost/high-quality music that is rights-cleared and 100% legal can be a challenge.
Now non-commercial videomakers can purchase any Magnatune album
for the minimum price of $5 and include the music in projects to be posted on
commercial sites like YouTube.
The only requirement is that attribution is included in the form of a visual credit that includes the (1) Song Name, (2) Artist Name and (3) Magnatune.com in the end credits
of the video.
The policy covers only non-commercial works posted on sites
like YouTube, Google Video, BlipTV, Revver, et.al. and virtual world sites like
Second Life. If the video project supports a business,
organization (profit or non-profit) or commercial venture in any way, our
Video/CD/DVD music license easily covers this type of use.
