Marriage Equality New York: Gay Straight Black White, Marriage is a Civil Right

Crowd chanting "Gay Straight Black White, Marriage is a Civil Right" and "What do we want? Marriage Equality. When do we want it? Now." 

Recorded during the NYC Lighting the Way to Equality candle light vigil organized by the Marriage Equality New York, a non-profit all-inclusive organization whose mission is to educate the public by raising awareness of the important right of all persons to enter into legally recognized gender neutral civil marriage with all the benefits and responsibilities that entails.

How I did it

This track was possible mostly because of Ableton Live's ability to wrap beats with not just sound but the video also - this allows me to properly align the crowd chant which is not really on the beat.

Both the video and the soundtrack is licensed CC-BY-SA. You can download it the 720p WMV on Vimeo, and the 148 BPM WAV file is on SoundCloud:
