Comment:

I began making Movie/Music mix tapes about seven years ago, splicing favorite audio-taped movie sequences with songs. Each volume deals with a different topic - Guns, God, Nuclear War, Love, Audio Alchemy, Comedy, Rants, Christmas, etc.

(In the above format I tried as well as I could to reference the movie sequence using the 'Artist' category and the 'Song' with the movie sequence. For each movie sequence under 'Song' I tried to explicate the start and finish of the movie scene beginning with the first line of dialogue and then using "..." to bookend the final bit of dialogue just before the musical cut.)

With hand-made liner notes and individually-designed cassette-tape covers, I'd give Ham-Handed Segue releases away to friends but unfortunately/eventually the friends I'd give them to would politely say, "Thanks so much. I'll, um, listen to this if I can find my cassette recorder."

The title "Ham-Handed Segue" comes from Hannibal Lecter in the first encounter with Clarisse Starling.

I'd love to be able to use computer-based splicing equipment to unzip songs and create 30-minute arcs with fade-in/fade-out loops while inserting favorite dialogue from specific actors. Years ago my idea was to unzip 'Friends' by Led Zeppelin, remove Robert Plant's voice and use just the music to overlay favorite montages of Christopher Walken dialogue. I have all the favoritted dialogue snippets outlined to drop in but have no way to create the mix. I want also to unzip '1979' by Smashing Pumpkins, similarly removing Billy Corgan's voice and using just the music to overlay favorite montages of Bill Murray dialogue. Again, I have the outlined/favoritted dialogue but not the means to carry it to fruition. Any help or suggestion(s)/collaboration would be greatly welcomed.

I understand that the copyright law(s) surrounding the use of film might be more stringent than those for music, although I could be wrong, and I've never sold the tapes, just given them away as gifts.

Cheers,

Matt
