Name something you've learned about music or yourself by creating and listening to Mashups?
prologue by Simon Iddol
what I learned?
to be patient and humble
and it feels so good
THX everybody!
+++bonus theme+++starts+++
Adrian & the Mysterious D
Before we became DJs and mashup producers, I was the lead singer of a
rock band for nine years. And I've got to tell you, within just a few
months of making our first mashups, I learned more about musical key
than I ever did being in a band! It only took us making one
key-clashed mashup for us to figure it out!
ComaR
So what I learnt by creating mashups ?
I guess i don't listen music the same way I used to, always listening for loops I could use or chords progressions that could match to another song...
I learnt a lot about keys, tempo and how a track should be built, even if I'm still able to screw everything up.
So this is mostly about music technics but I could also say I learnt how fucked up the music business is, how un-glamourous it could be sometimes behind the curtain but also how high you could feel when you're living a great moment, on stage or as a promoter.
I guess this is the same when you producing music wich is not mashup but this is what I know.

i found a good reason to do music. As i don't have a strong indentity (i mean cultural...), i always tried to do music that was not "mine", and it was just for fun. I am not a writer, so i always did music the way the others did, until then. By doing mashups, i found my way, and arguments to explain why i do that instead of doing original music. It's important to know why an artist wants to be it and live for art, and the way i do mashups is a good reason to keep keeping on. I can see clearly now. God bless me ! :-)))

What have I learned. Well, about myself, I have learned that I should stick to what I know. I can mix two songs together to a reasonable standard but I should not dabble with beeps, bleeps or squelchy shit (see Hack in Black EP - currently deleted - to remain deleted).
About music - its not really taught me anything I didnt already know. Music is derivative and right now we are all just recycling other ideas - bootleggers, rock stars, electromindwarp. Mind you, Kayne West might tell you ohterwise. He's an original you know ;)
+++bonus theme+++ends+++
that's it for a while
