Polarity/1's gives fans free soundtrack downloads from Danny
Schechter's feature-length film documentary 'In Debt We Trust'
In an appeal to individual rationality and support for Danny
Schechter's feature-length film documentary 'In Debt We Trust,' NY-
based composer and recording artist Polarity/1 is making two of his
four songs on the soundtrack available as a free mp3 download for all
those suffering from personal debt at http://www.musicdish.net/polarity1/indebtwetrust/
"Admitting you have a problem is the first step in tackling debt,"
commented Polarity/1. "If even one person tears up their credit cards
because they were moved by the songs, then I've done my work. And it
won't add to your debt, unlike say iTunes..."
In Debt We Trust shows how debt is strangling the lives of tens of
millions of Americans, and consolidating power into fewer and fewer
hands by a credit and loan complex not unlike the military-industrial
complex. This has been called the "financialization" of America ?-
producing a kind of "modern serfdom" and widening the gap between the
haves and have-nots. The 88-minute documentary is being distributed to
theaters and communities as part of a new national campaign, Americans
for Debt Relief Now, that aims to help Americans win freedom from the
desperation of this overwhelming debt.
The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests: conjoined
opposites - a mash-up of new: cutting edge electronica/hip hop/nu-jazz
and old: roots music of America (blues, funk, country, early jazz),
Brazil (samba, pagode, etc.) and West African groove science. "Polar
succeeds in his mission of forcing you to pay attention and not lull
into the sounds you 'expect' to hear," noted StarPolish.com
Currently, Polarity/1 is best known for political songs which are a
regular feature of Amy Goodman's globally syndicated Democracy Now,
NPR and many other politics-oriented broadcasts, used in college
courses on media and licensed for use in documentaries.
