Anatomy of a Mashup: Definitive Daft Punk visualized
Data visualization is often used to make complex data more understandable, and often used just for the hell of it. One thing it does do well is break down the intertwined sounds of the music mash-up, as seen in Benjamin Rahn’s Girl Talk visual timeline. The mesh of tracks used, while not being easy to decipher by the untrained ear, is much more easily understood by the eyes.
Following in this tradition is The Man in Blue‘s Anatomy of a Mashup: Definitive Daft Punk visualized. What it does is breakdown his mashup of Daft Punk’s back catalogue, Definitive Daft Punk. The Man in Blue’s motivation was wanting to show the layman and woman the subtle and complex intricacies that go into creating a mashup.
Created using the latest HTML5 and CSS3 technology, it gives further credence to the mash-up as artform, as well as being a fantastic visualisation and a great mix.
