Butterfly Productions!
 

It has been a very eventful year at Mega Braun Music.  I relocated to Arizona, wrote the production music for for a new "horror disk" commissioned by Beyond Music Library, scored an the independent film "Night Shift", and now I am sharing a story I know.

"When The Butterfly First In Love With The Flower." is an eternal love story that like the title suggests tells the epic tale between two lovers that is still in bloom today.  It might seem like love and bliss in the garden between these two today, but then maybe you haven't heard the whole story yet.   Even though the eternal flame of their love may have seemed to flicker in time, what is a moment in the span of eternity?  How much can happen in a moment?  What is a seeming eternity to the figures in a terrible nightmare?  Find out as the story is told.

I learned this story when I was very young.  I am not sure however whether it was a bee or a butterfly that taught it to me, but both always seem to have a good story to share, so you are certain to enjoy it!   I have told several people portions of the story and eventually realized that no one single person had heard all of the story yet.  And what are stories if not for the telling?

After the persistent yet gentle prodding of a few close friends to start writing the story down, or "just do something with it", as one friend suggested. I finally decided youtube might be the most fun. Writing is OK, but I really enjoy telling the story more right now. Plus youtube will allow me to share some of the music that goes with it too. It will not be hard to see why clients call me for production music and NOT my video production skills though. lol! I do hope to see it properly animated at some point. Who knows, right? So until then I will do the best I can in the moment and keep telling the story until it all gets told. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy sharing it!

Start Here:  Part Four "That's Why We're Glad (For You)" Music and video.  Lyrics by Martin Barringer. Music by Martin Barringer & Jonathan Miller aka "DJ Jovo"

Part Four is a great place to start if you ask me because I had the help of some very talented young artists to help me with it and the song turned out great I think! (get the full story here.)  Many thanks to Jonathan Miller, Donald Tick, Becky Best, for guest vocals!

Next:  Part One "Once Upon A Time (or so it seemed ...)"  Narrated by Martin Barringer

Many thanks to Meez.com for their ultra simple animation tools.  I thought if I could find something simple enough, without a tremendous learning curve, that it might be more interesting for viewers than watching my silly mug tell the story.  I tried several free animation packages and eventually concluded that Meez offered a good working solution for me given the amount of story I have to share.  I hope you enjoy!
