Create a story using old music along with more current songs. Be creative!
As you probably know, you can use the Wayback Machine from the Internet Archive to see what websites looked like years ago. Take a look at what several different sites looked like in the 90s to get a feel for the style of the times. Then, create a website that mimics that style, so information should be historically accurate but creative. For example if you choose to style your website after websites in 1998, you could talk about the your new discman or do a movie review of Armageddon, maybe create an AOL chatroom page.
I always have songs stuck in my head at the worst times and giving the song a little hum is always a good way to get it out of your head (or sometimes make it even more stuck!) For this assignment record yourself humming a song that is stuck in your head and upload it! For example I did FloRida’s Apple Bottom Jeans song because its been stuck in my head all week!
Pick a song you like and a verse in the song that you what to work with. Now rewrite the lyrics in this section to make a parody. The chorus might be the easiest. Be creative and have fun. The funnier the better!
For this assignment, take your favorite Disney songs and try to make them flow when you mash them together!Have fun with it and enjoy!
For this assignment you will be mashing up a cover of a song with its original. Alternate between the new and the old to create contrast and highlight the differences between the two. Try to avoid awkward transtitions by focusing on flow.
Take at least 3 household sounds (things you hear everyday during your commute, work day, school day, etc.) and take them out of context. Mash them up, combine them, remix them any way you want, as long as the final product does not resemble the things the sounds came from.
For this assignment what I did was take a song I knew how to play on an instrument, such as piano in this case (but it can be any instrument you please), and then I made some changes to the way I played it. What I challenge you to do is learn a new song on any instrument that you play and change it up and just see what you get, and if you end up liking it.
Broadway has been around for many years. It is like the movies where you can go and enter an imaginary world for a few hours. Remix your favorite song from a Broadway musical to show the different covers that have been created over the years.
Create a new mashup by combining any two songs you feel fitting for a mashup! You would be surprised at some of the results!
Below I completed this assignment by mashing Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” with Letting Go (a popular electro song back from 2011)
