Washington, DC (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - 'FIX - The Ministry Movie,' Gigantic Pictures, and TuneCore are teaming up to provide a TuneCore Artist the opportunity to have their song licensed to appear on the companion album to the documentary film 'FIX' - a film about life on-stage and back-stage featuring the band Ministry. One artist chosen from TuneCore FIX entrants will have their song licensed to appear on the companion album with members of Tool, Soundgarden, Skinny Puppy, and others.
To participate, artists can go to https://www.fixtheministrymovie.com/tunecore, sign up for a free TuneCore account and then download the actual bass and sample stems from the Ministry song 'Psalm 69' for free. They then create their own original single using these stems, and have TuneCore distribute their song to iTunes. Each distributed song is eligible to be selected.
On January 2, 2011, one TuneCore Artist will be editorially selected by Paul Barker (producer, co-writer, engineer, and bass player for Ministry) to have their song included on the companion album to the film.
The download package includes:
- Four bass stems: right and left dry tracks, and right and left distorted tracks, as .wav files.
- A stem of the vocal samples used in the song as a .wav file.
- An exclusive trailer for the forthcoming film.
- A hi-res printable PDF poster for the film.
- A note from Paul Barker.
All participants in this TuneCore promotion who create and upload a track keep all of their rights and receive 100% of the revenue from the sale of their music on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, MOG and other digital music stores. The promotion winner will have the opportunity to have their track included on the companion album to the film, and sold via a licensing arrangement with the filmmaker.

"I have always been a big Ministry fan. When I was given the chance to work with the team that made the documentary, I jumped. Ministry has always been ground breaking - for both fans and musicians. I am really excited to be able to offer original stems from the Ministry song Psalm 69 for artists to use in their own recordings. I'm even more excited that Paul Barker, legendary producer, engineer and bass player, is going to listen to songs from TuneCore Artists and pick one to include on an album with members of Tool, Korn, Soundgarden and others. It's TuneCore's job to provide information, education and opportunity to musicians. I am thrilled to be able to do this around a one-of-a-kind, unique promotion like this!' - Jeff Price, TuneCore
'Take these sounds from my hand and create your own faith lift. Any and all offerings will be accepted. Fanatically non-denominational, all sects, cults, bodies, branches, and orders are welcome. Glitch, hardcore, death, soul, dream, crusty- there are no differences in the eyes of this body. A great song is a great song. I, brothers and sisters, will make judgment upon your offspring.' - Paul Barker, Ministry.
