Anatomy of a Mashup: Definitive Daft Punk visualised

You all know Daft Punk, right? But have you seen the anatomy of the a Daft Punk mashup? A little side project for Sydney-based web technologist Cameron Adams to give the general public a better understanding of the minute details and nuances that go into constructing a complex mashup from tiny pieces of songs.

Using “Definitive Daft Punk,” a 7-minute mashup that he created himself based on Daft Punk’s complete discography, he exposes the entire structure of the 23-song piece, revealing everything from the cutting and layering to levels and equalisation.

Okay, so now for the science bit. What is a mashup I hear some of you ask? A mashup is a song created by blending two or more other songs. The more complex a mashup gets, the harder it is to distinguish the parts that are being used to create what you’re hearing.

Watch the screen to see the entire mashup, composed using the latest HTML5 and CSS3 technology visualized in real-time = geeky goodness.
