My Pitch

For my transmedia project, I would like to create a series of three songs, videos that correspond to those songs, and a written short-story to go along with them. The songs/videos will tell a story that is deep and compelling, and the three will be very connected. (But possibly with different characters? See: The Lumineers’s…

9: A Haiku Remix

Below is the link to my digital remix: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u2Ato_fEf-PH9OxnzCbkYCtYmFyBAjNxMNco4LKqkyc/edit   I wanted to engage with the age-old concept of poetry and song lyrics being intersecting genres, if not sometimes the same thing. I worked together with Alex, and together we chose several pop songs to remix. While Alex’s focused on the chord progression and musical…

7: Ruining Music for the Masses

The original texts for our remix are lyrics and music for popular songs, put into the same or similar chord progressions, then made into a music video of some sort. This was our first and only idea (which Alex proposed to me before I even started thinking about what to do for this project), but…

7: One smallhttp://wordpress.susqu.edu/engl390/2018/03/06/7-one-small-pitch-for-men-one-giant-pitch-for-mankind/ Pitch for men, One giant Pitch for Mankind

For this project my partner in crime is Ashleigh Tomcics. Idea number one, the best on in my opinion, is a musical medley which is when you use the same chord progression to perform the different songs. As of right now songs that would be used are: I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, Hey Soul Sister…

7: Geographical Poetry Turned to Song

Back when I wrote poetry and took an Advanced Poetry class, I wrote a collection of fifty poems, each based in a state in the US. My number one idea for the project is to select multiple poems from this and turn them into songs. Play guitar, give the words melody, and record and mix…

5) MP3 Mashups

http://nateural.tumblr.com/post/153015506460/kasnas-citra-lila-3365-you-were-one-inch This mash-up of MGMT’s 2007 song “Kids” with Passion Pit’s 2009 “Sleepyhead” is a popular form on remix on the internet, in which creators merge two already existing songs into one MP3, often by layering the vocal track from one song over the instrumental track of another. This particular MP3 was shared on Tumblr by an anonymous user—the link…

The Wizard of Oz: Remixed

The remixed text that I chose to cover is Todrick Hall’s video The Wizard of Ahhs. The texts that have been sampled are: The movie The Wizard of Oz, classic music videos, and many popular pop songs – such as Blown Away by Carrie Underwood, Damaged by Danity Kane, Can’t be Tamed by Miley Cyrus and I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor…

5: Insane: A Tale of Remixing Gone Wrong

Last summer, I worked for a small amusement center called Funplex, located in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. It had a decent playlist consisting of a wide variety of music, but there was one song in particular that caught my ear each time it played. It started with the intro to “No Rain” by Blind Melon,…
