After scouring the internet i found a cool open source website where users can submit there tracks which you can download remix and upload them again

http://www.opsound.org

The Music we chose for the final movie is called , eye heart knot and was created by James Kirsch

you can listen to the track here

Some info on him.
James Kirsch (or JimmyK) grew up in Newton, MA, playing classical piano and absorbing everything from Suzanne Ciani to Metallica. He attended Oberlin college in Ohio, hoping to further his musical horizons at their prestigious conservatory. Disillusioned by the competitive nature of their classical music program, he stumbled upon the electronic music program (TIMARA) in the conservatory basement and never looked at sheet music again. This coupled with discovering the magic of Orbital and jamming in bands widened his musical appetites immensely. The arrival of software which virtualized an electronic music studio was cleverly aligned with his ejection into the “real world” of San Francisco. Unsatisfied with the popular consensus that electronic music = techno, General Fuzz was born. Hatched, really.

His website:

We originally wanted to use a song by PortBlue who are an unsigned band
but got no reply from one of the artists Adam Young

Make Sense?

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Being infected by a virus is a part of our nature as human beings
We cannot prevent becoming infected unless we have previously had the infection or virus in our system.

In 2049 the way we are infected is similar to today but in a different context of how fast we become infected and what parts of us are affected.

As we know today a virus is something we catch from bacteria in the air, or through open cuts and wounds, it all depends on the strength or our immune system. We get colds, the flu and other various viruses that make us unwell and unhappy.

In 2049 when we have a Being with us, they are our digital friend who wants to connect to the human world we live in, it learns off us and becomes a part of us as it lives in our spine.

Connection with a Being helps us heal infection in the future, as they learn through us. Beings have the ability to understand and sense what we feel and think, which helps our connection grow and our quality of living improve.

The Being we are connected to can become an extra source of energy when we become unwell. We can still get the common cold and flu, but the strength differents of these viruses has increased greatly over the years as modern day medicine is not strong enough on its own to fight these viruses anymore.

Our Being gives a percentage of its energy to us to help fight infection as we seek treatment.

We in turn do the same for our Being if it becomes infected by a digital virus. Infection can now cross between the two worlds and the common cold can mutate itself into microscopic biobot pixels that transfer into the digital world. The digital virus affects the Being by disrupting its connection between them and ourselves.

We help the being when it is sick by giving it a percentage of our energy, when we give them this energy to the being we becoem ditached from it as the connection is disrupted, the energy we give the being helps repair this connection so that when it has recovered we can share information and knowledge again.

Some Key sentences?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Ash and I just took out possible key sentences from the storybook from last handin. I guess the easiest way to do it and make it flow will be to decide on what text to use and what fits with the film after its been edited together. But here we go anyway…

“being human”
“can an intelligent entity be more intelligent than the intelligence that created it? – Ray Kurtzweil”
“2049, symbiosis is a way of life”
“the human body is our natural habitat, physical, mental and spiritual”
“the digital world is a beings natural habitat”
“equal rights”
“mutual will to sustain”
“maximum quality of life”
“strong, mutual relationship”
the definitions of human/being??
“symbiosis; a relationship of mutual benefit or dependance”
“nanobiobots; give human the ability to connect to the digital world”
“maintaing a symbiotic relationship”
“use each other for their strengths”
“relationship that can be likened to friendship”
“a natural, heriditary trait”
“being exists in two worlds”
“the human is a place where the being desires to be”
“being experience the human through their sight, sound, taste, touch, smell”
“the digital worlds layers of existence fit alonside the human world”
“life for humans is enhanced”
“humans expand their mind through a parallel existence shared with a being”
“a human child changes its being multiple times during a lifetime”
“the relationship is based on shared values and balance”
“the pair will grow together, exchange information and share experiences”
“learning from each others worlds”
“symbiosis is our way of life; being human”
