HW Creativity
All new media and new technologies are created by creativity. All those "new" things are came from use of imagination and original idea to create something that never happened before. People have so many thoughts and ideas in their minds, and sometimes, it is hard to turn their imaginations and ideas into reality. People need resources to do that.
According to "The New Math of Mashups" by Sasha Frere-Jones, the article mentions the beginning of mashups during 2003. Jeremy Brown saw the potential of two songs, and combined them together using his software. Great example of mashup song will be "Frontin'on Debra". This song is created from one vocal from one song which is laid with the music from another song. Sometimes, original song is not the best because there are many others beats, lyrics, melody and tempo that are more suitable with the song. This is the power of creativity. Some people can see the strengths and weakness of the song, and they are able to find other pieces from other songs and combine them in order to make it better. That's why more people started to like mashup song than original song. One of the most important quote from the article is "Armed with the free time and the right software, people are rifling through the lesser songs of pop music and, in frustration, choosing to make some of them as good as the great ones."
Nowaday, we can see that more people are creating mashup song in YouTube. One music can combine with several lyrics from other songs. It makes them better and much more interesting than original songs. Furthermore. some people can keep the lyrics from one song and create their own music with different and unique melody, rhythm, tempo, dynamic and texture. This is how new media gives people an opportunity to express their creativity.
