Live Remix and Mashup Lab

ILEL-214

This course explores strategies for creating variations from pre-existing musical material in a live performance setting. Students use audio stems from multitrack productions to improvise new arrangements of existing songs as well as use samples from a variety of sources to create entirely new musical arrangements. Special emphasis is placed on the use of performance controllers to trigger playback of samples and control effects, making this practice distinct from a studio remix. Students are encouraged to develop their own unique style based on their choice of material and the techniques they use in performance.
