The Girl and the Mashup

[hot_tramp]

The robot-themed vid project has led me to finally learn some audio editing as well. I am working on what may become a serviceable mashup! Try as I might, I could NOT find an electronica/electro/EBMish song with a female vocalist that would work for this damn vid. I found lyrics from a few songs I liked, and nice instrumental bits from a few other songs, and decided FUCK IT I'll make my own damn song. Of course the songs I want don't have studio acapellas floating around so I had to find or make DIY acapellas. Which are a bit dodgy, to say the least. I may be able to patch it all together with scotch tape and paper clips.

The project also led me to spend an evening watching Small Wonder, that truly awful television show from the eighties. Just so, so bad. Not quite as bad as Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs, though. The things we do for art.

Oh my god. I remember Small Wonder. Worse than that is hard to imagine.

Netflix Instant is dark and full of terrors.

It never even occurred to me to look for sitcoms of my youth to see if they were as terrible as I remembered, because I didn't think of Netflix as having such things. Damn you.

I assume you tried Ayria? She's got all kinds of stompy, EBM-ish music, with female vocals.

[hot_tramp]

Yup, found her on last.fm. I like her sound, but there wasn't anything quite right.

as usual i've no idea what you're talking about

[calamity3jane]

Is there somewhere where one might admire your video art? I'm getting increasingly curious.

If you click back a bit on my journal, you'll find the one vid I've made so far. Nothing earth-shaking. It was a way to learn the basics of the medium. So now obv I'm totes ready for a hella ambitious multifandom monstrosity set to my own mashup!
