A Mind Blowing Example of the Art of the Mashup

It would be tempting but still editorially accurate to post this video with the bone idle description of "Posted Without Comment". "Walking In Your Mind", created by the UK's Ithaca Audio, is a stunning example of the live multimedia mashup. Come inside for a watch and a listen but leave your mind at the door.

Before pressing play, check out what audio/visual elements went into creating this:

Hans Zimmer - "Time" (from Inception)
Howard Blake/Aled Jones - "Walking in the Air" (a singularly beautiful piece of music)
Tomoyasu Hotei - "Battle Without Honor or Humanity"
Snoop Dogg featuring Pharrell Williams - "Drop it Like it's Hot"
Jimi Hendrix - "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"
Massive Attack - "Teardrop"
Beastie Boys/Jeremy Steig - "Sure shot/Howlin' for Judy"
Jay-Z - "99 Problems"
Rage Against the Machine - "Killing in the Name"
Phil Collins - "In the Air Tonight"
Max Sedgley - "Happy"
Led Zeppelin - "Whole Lotta Lov

Impressed? I sure was. But as the saying goes, "Get a load of this!" Please set your volume on 11 before proceeding.

Well this is an excellent way to start the day and to close out Yesvember.

After you watch Vika's performance, come inside to check out the original, especially if it's never penetrated your ears before and to learn about Vika's other unique performances.
