Project 08 | Complete
This month's turn out was a bit low, but given the time of year and the number of big changes that folks are juggling, it isn't a surprise. Even with the smaller number of projects, I enjoyed each and every project that was sent my way. From the pragmatic to the humorous, each one a success. If you're still working on something, feel free to send it over when you're ready. As always, many thanks for sticking with it!

BG | Inner City Blues (Stand Clear of the Closing Doors)
The goal was to remix "Inner City Blues" by Marvin Gaye, incorporating sound effects from around the city. The warning on the MBTA to "stand clear of the closing doors" resonated particularly well with the message in the original song.
Materials: Isolated audio track of Marvin Gaye singing "Inner City Blues", upright piano, bass guitar, ambient sfx captured around Boston, Garage Band
