mashup – Writing 304 – Reading and Writing in Digital Environments

Daily Create #tdc3055

For my first daily create I decided to mash up the sounds Cake By The Ocean and Uptown Funk. I originally tried to mash up The Office theme song with another song but nothing really fit well. I was going through all of my “liked” songs from my old Spotify and these two popped up. I haven’t listened to either of these songs in a long time but mixing them together made for a really fun summer party song. This daily create took a lot of trial and error but I wanted to be happy with the final result (which I am).

What sparked me for this mashup was the baby I nanny, he is 9 months old and loves music. We have an “Alexa” so every time I say “hey Alexa!” he looks around and waits for the music to start. So, I figured this was a perfect opportunity to connect my blog with a daily create. He absolutely loves these two songs, so I figured mashing them together would be a good idea. I used Youtube DJ, but then I used Zoom screen share/ record to get the video that I then uploaded onto Youtube and proceeded to Tweet the link.
