What do you get when you cross Rihanna with General Public? Iggy Pop with Peggy Lee? Pink with ELO? No, it’s not a riddle. It’s the new music movement that is sweeping the world. And now it reaches Hong Kong! The Mash-ups! What is a mash-up you ask? Part of the European bastard-pop musical genre, mash-ups are songs created out of two or more songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one seamlessly over the music track of another. Known by a number of different names: Bootlegs, boots, mash-ups, smash-ups, blends, and cut-ups — a term originally coined by William S. Burroughs to describe some of his literary experiments, who would “cut up” different texts and rearrange the pieces to create a new piece. More traditional terms such as “edits” or “remixes” are favored by many bootleggers (also known as ’leggers). (information provided by the hotel) |
