petroniaThis morning I dreamt that one of the Japanese indie bands on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fabulous_papaya's Interstellar Travel FST was actually a blobular alien creature with five heads and trumpet-like appendages, and sang in harmony by taking its heads off and waving them about like the Beastie Boys in that one episode of Futurama. I'm going to construe that as a sign that I should get cracking on my own March FST instead of listening to said Interstellar Travel FST over and over and trying to turn it into an extended remix, for value of "remix" equals "tacking songs onto the end to fill the CD".
Amused to see that t3h O-Zone is virally infesting my flist, like, again. XD I keep playing the Eurobeat remix because I'm fascinated with the... arrangement? Orchestration? Like a lot of Eurobeat it's essentially classical, there's nothing about it that wasn't done first 300 years ago. No blues scale. Take the 40-second intro, space out the timpani, slow it down by half and errr get a real string orchestra to play it, and it would sound like an allegretto out of one of Mozart's comic operas. I find that when I listen to it I start making that orchestra-conductor baton-beat gesture with my hand. The corollary, I suppose, is that if you took a Mozart allegretto and played it really fast on cheesy synths, it would sound like "Dragostea Din Tei". ...I'd say "people should do this," but I suspect that's pretty much how it is done.
