Before such a thing as the title gets me banned from the site, let me explain!:
So why ruin such a great tune by combining it with dance music? A bit odd, I know, but it was at my professor's request. So I took a course this Fall for a program that I use to record music and the final project just happened to be, strangely, this. I about fell out of my chair at the shock of it, I grant you, but it was something that really motivated me, so I worked on it and started writing different sections, and then tried putting them together. Unfortunately, it started to get very weird and I ended up having so much trouble trying to piece it all together that I couldn't finish it.
Ironic, I know.
So I wiped it out, started over again, and came up with this pretty much the day the project was due, which was Monday (12-7-09). The guidelines creatively were pretty simple: as long as you aren't too repetitive, and make it to where the listener has an idea what song was remixed, you can pretty much do whatever you want, for the most part. So there's some samples of "Our Prayer" in there, both the Beach Boys' version and a version I did earlier this year. I'm not really a dance guy and don't know much about dance music, so this is pretty much me going crazy with a bunch of synths and other fun stuff. It's mostly an original composition with just bits and pieces of the song thrown in. Whether it works or not... well, you be the judge:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/rsnrwpSorry I couldn't put it on a site, but given that I'm using actual samples here and there throughout the song (even though it's not much), I know it wouldn't last.
Enjoy!
