Artist Statement
We were inspired to choose Television versus Movies because we knew we wanted to show our differences through the sounds we chose. Aralie is more interested in television, while Hailey is more into films. So, because of this we intertwined our favorite television shows and movies to create a continuous battle of sounds. We first started with a very prominent movie and television sound track. We did this because we wanted to engage audience and bring them into our sound sphere. We initially wanted to just go in chronological order, which we still mostly did, but after reading the DJ spooky article were we were encouraged to read things out of order, we thought it would also be interesting if we mixed up the sound track a bit. That is the reason why the beginning and end are out of order. Fresh Prince and Breaking Bad are very recognizable themes and so areThe Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Dark Knight.
Aralie took inspiration from “A Day in the Life” a Beatles song that switches up in the middle. It almost seems like two songs, but also still flows together nicely; it creates chaos, but also is pleasing to the ear. It is a hard technique to replicate, but we tried our hardest. Hailey took inspiration from “Look After You vs. Barry Bonds”, a mash up that mixes a The Fray song with the rapper Kanye West’s lyrics to form one song with very opposing sounds that somehow work together. This led to the mash up of The Godfather soundtrack, which is a big beautiful orchestral movement with the harsh sounds of The Jaws soundtrack to come together to make an interesting and somehow pleasing mix of sounds.
Our performance was exhilarating and nerve wracking, but turned out very well, with only one minor problem of a clip being played out of place. It was exciting to be able to hear the crowd react from the themes and quotes that we decided to play. We knew that certain clips would bring nostalgia, but we were unsuspecting of the laughter that followed. Overall it was a great experience to be able to perform live and have it go as well as it did.
