Cats remix Queen

While searching through the assignment bank, I found this funny We Will Rock assignment where you recreate the famous beat for Queen’s We Will Rock You in a creative way.

There are so many ways that this could be done, but I wanted to have some fun with this one.

I thought that I could make it creative by getting my cats to meow to the beat. Not impossible, but hard.

I’ve been borrowing my boyfriend’s gaming headphones to record this week since it has a microphone on it. I decided to record on Audacity while one of my cats was in my work room and I, by accident, got audio of her “sniffing” the microphone and it was perfect. It then became the first two beats.

It’s pretty difficult to get my cats to meow on demand, and after some trying of teasing them with treats, I gave up. What I did instead is extract audio from an old video of my cats meowing during dinnertime and made it the final beat. (Her meow may sound like she’s in pain but she was just really anxious for some dinner, I promise)

I only repeated the beat twice. This was a relatively easy assignment in Audacity once I figured out how to use it. Plus, I was totally cracking up while doing this since the first part was a perfect accident.

Check it out!

We will rock you for 2 stars!

Everyone knows Queen’s “We Will Rock You”.  For this assignment, remake the famous beat the most creative way that you can.

We will, we will ROCK YOU!

Here is my version of the beat from We Will Rock You by Queen.

We will, we will….ROCK YOU!

This is one of my favorite classics, so it was really cool to be able to recrate the beat in our own way. I used Audacity to record myself recreating the beat. I used my keys, a bottle of lotion, and a cup all banged against a table to recreate this sound. I also drew a picture for the background on sound cloud.

This assignment was a quick fun one. Because I’m a giant loser, I have a watch that on the hour makes the same sound as the clock tower from Majora’s Mask. I recorded the playback of the watch, and took the chimes to create the sort of hard, dark ambient we will rock you beat. Hope ya enjoy!
