Blog 8. Music

I was scouting YouTube for music ideas to run throughout my piece and came across this song by Henry Krinkle which gave the right feel I wanted for my piece and also had the regular ticking throughout which would represent the ticking of the clock which is something I want to keep running in the background. 

On January 28th 2015 I contacted Henry Krinkle via his fan page on Facebook and wrote him an email requesting permission to use his song. His reply was: 

Hello, Thanks for getting in touch! Although I personally wouldn't mind you using my song in your project, you would technically need to contact Ultra music (my label) for permission. They would know the proper procedure.

So i then went onto Ultra Music's website and wrote an email to them requesting to use the song, the email kept bouncing back and would not send. So i wrote to Henry Krinkle again explaining that I couldn't seem to get through to them, and he gave me this web address which I could go onto and request to use the song I wanted officially. I am still waiting for a response from them, but I hope I gain permission to use the song as I don't want to particularly compose my own music and it would take more time. I really like the sound of this song and the way it develops and seems quite abstract.
