Where's The AllMashUp AllTheTime Station?

And beyond this great clip (and The Grey Album, GirlTalk, & BiggieHendrix) what else plays on it?

The History Of The Audio MashUp

Who would have thought that the New York Times would be the source of such a great list? This is a must read/hear.

I guess this means that the Mash Up is now officially a major art form ;-) !

Making New Stuff Out Of Their Old Stuff: Upular

This music was composed using chords, bass notes, & vocal samples from one very excellent movie. Nothing like borrowing from a friend to make something new.

Making Music: Collaboration and The Mash Up

One of the great new music art forms of recent times is the mash-up, but it is a lot harder than it first sounds.  A mash-up is essentially of what was originally two or more songs or music tracks that have been mixed together.  It is one of the many ways to make something old new again.  You could say it is the cousin of the sample, which is exactly what it sounds like: a sample of one song used in another song, say just three drum beats or one phrase from the lyrics.

We sneezed three times in excitement when this video landed in our bowl.  From what we can tell, this musician both sampled and asked different people on YouTube to provide chords and beats and then he mixed them all together.  It's like people of all ages from all over the world got together and jammed.  Regardless, it's a great song that will make you want to shake your socks off!

Mash Up Mania

Hybrids.  Gene splicing.  Mutant mix up.  Call it what you like but we have always like it when you pour from two boxes into the same bowl.  Two tastes that taste great together.
