Music remixing is an established form of song-making. It has been evolving and growing creatively as technology opens new opportunities to combine previously unheard sounds or unthinkable combinations.
The music video remix has birthed some unbelievable songs, where the orginal songs sometimes pale in comparison to the new mixed rendition (my favorite example of this is the Snow Patrol/ Police remix "Every car you chase"). The other extreme are some hilarious combinations that attempt to ridicule vs show musical prowess.
What I've yet to see done is actually remixing virals with music in a real-time fashion. The attached video does exactly that. What I love about it is that it brings a whole new dynamic to live performance as well as provide some interesting visual fodder for the viral obsessed (me being one of them). Have a look and feel free to post other examples that you think are cool along this topic.
