advice in choosing a rast song for an animation

Onglon - 3-19-2018 at 05:55 PM

hello dear music lovers,

i have recently been working on an animation project and am looking for a music to complement the visuals. Episode 2 follows Shamshoom (a toddler who was just born) as he is discovering with delight nature, colours and sounds. I am therefore looking for a joyfully rythmic melody/song to play. i thought a rast melody would be great, but maybe a ajam or sikka melody which is particularly fresh could do the trick. any thoughts or suggestions? many thanks in advance for your help!

i am now thinking about this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AVkHXsEpjY ahla bi hal talleh ahla by sabah


for reference, this is episode 1 which was only recently completed, and which in contrast to the rast/joyful mood of episode 2, is more gloomy and in a saba mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaeNNQt2ezk. Unfortunately i can't show episode 2 as it is customary in animation to establish the audio first, and than to animate the visuals to match it.

Or this Sabah song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gg73At_Qdw&index=1&t=0s&... Or since this is a oud forum, the spectacular oud version with Farid playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlSf48GbprU

There's also Maqam Bashiri from Munir Bashirs album Maqamat. It's the first track and sounds very happy/peaceful/joyful!

Hi Onglon,

I put many links to pieces of music that I used in my book in one place, which you can see in the free HTML preview. Out of these, I suggest the pieces by Delibes or Gazi Giray Han, but you might find another one in the list that suits you better.

I also wrote a piece for my niece few years ago when she was two or three that you might like. I did not use it in the book but you can find it in the compositions folder in the second link below. If you like it you can just use it. I only have midi output but it will sound a lot better if recorded of course depending on your time and budget.

These are the links. Let me know if you have any access problems.
