Inspired by Brittany

For one of our DS106 audio weeks, I decided to do the assignment Greatest Hits Storytelling that I didn’t even realize was created by Brittany! This assignment required us to create a mash-up of an artists greatest hits to tell a story. Brittany’s mash-up of Brad Paisley’s hits inspired me to tell my own story using Beyonce’s greatest hits.

Brittany edited together each song seamlessly. The finished product was smooth and transitioned very well. In addition, the fade-in and fade-out effects that she added in between songs made the track as a whole sound fluid. I did not try this with my own work, but that is because I wanted to try to make the songs cut together at the right moment. The story told in the mash-up is a beautiful and classic love story, almost bittersweet. I think Brittany did a great job!

(Unfortunately I could not add Brittany’s mash-up to this post, as it is not hosted on SoundCloud due to copyright reasons. To make up for the missing track, here’s a handsome picture of Brad Paisley…)
