I cut music up into pieces, and then I put the pieces back together my way.
Creations
Smooth Celloriminal
I do a lot of audio editing for - everything from quick edits to detailed mashups – and this last project was a lot of fun. They wanted ‘s mashed up with ‘ version of , and it had to be a minute long.
One minute isn’t a whole lot of time to work with… It took a lot of work to edit the mashup down into what was needed for the choreography, without missing out on the song itself. I ended up also using an a capella copy of Smooth Criminal alongside the 2Cello music – it was a lot of fun.
Since I was enjoying the mix so much, I decided to continue working on it after submitting the copy that was requested… I ended up with a two and a half minute mashup: Smooth Celloriminal.

Touching The SummerSweet Moon
This one is an up-beat, slightly jazzy tune. I’ve been sitting on ‘s Moon Song for a while (you can stream their original song , or download the mp3 ), trying to do it justice with my work (not that I’m making it better, but that I’m not making it worse). This is what came out… Oh, I also used parts from:
