Comment Music mash-up: 32 songs in 5 minutes (Score 1) 57

Hi All,

There is another definition of a mash-up, also much more interesting:

"Combination (usually by digital means) of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. Typically, the music and vocals belong to completely different genres. At their best, bastard pop songs strive for musical epiphanies that add up to considerably more than the sum of their parts." (Wikipedia)

Check out this example by DJ Shane 54:

Danger Mouse's "Gray Album" was another example. Harmonic mixing is required for these mashups. There is software that make this easier. Mixed In Key http://www.mixedinkey.com/ (Cocoa + .NET) and MixShare http://www.mixshare.com/ (Java) are two examples.
