2013: Mashups

3 tracks reached 1000 downloads and then the account was nuked.

I started making mashups in Jerusalem using Sony Vegas on Windows in April 2013 as a byproduct of creating Heartcarve videos. I did this for a few years and made 100+.

These ones made 1000 downloads:

I stopped making them in October 2015 for a few reasons. One was that the new speakers I bought gave a poor balance and hence the production value went down. Also, I started over-thinking them and started thinking about key-signatures and then listenability lowered. Also, many unique song combinations had been used-up by me. My SC account also got terminated and that didn’t help either.

People liked them a lot – yet few commented.

For me they were a way of finding flow, focus and creativity and even led into film storyboarding a couple of years later.

Occasionally, I dream music – I’ll never hear anything better!

Many can be found below.

While tracks were being made in this apartment, disturbances of any kind were succinctly avoided!

On a few occasions, I played mashups to the street.

Then in 2022, I started making mashups again the easy way using RaveDJ.

I borrowed a friends guitar in 1997 and took lessons for a couple of months… perhaps I should go back to it?
