Title: Music for slide show - Africa
Post by: dkabat on December 18, 2008, 02:08:13 pm

Have just returned from southern Africa and in the coming months will be making a slide show of our trip.  Was able to obtain 1 CD with African music and wonder if someone could point me to some other CDs and where to purchase.  One Example of what I am looking for is in the LLVJ on Kenya and Tanzania.

Thank you
Dan

All of the music for LLVJs is 'bespoke' - custom composed for us by Steven Sauve or Rob Hoare.

My exposure to amateur slide/sound productions has been uniformly unpleasant.  The music doesn't sync to the images in any way, extra images are gratuitously introduced to pad out the musical selections rather than for their own merit, and the music interferes with any possibly interesting narrative.  My advice would be forget the music and tell (live, not pre-recorded) an interesting story about your trip that relates to the images in your presentation.
