Some FUNKY That I Used To Know | CDK Mashup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 бер 2024
- A mashup of two songs I like for a dance video I like as well.
When I first saw CDK's original dance video, I enjoyed its dialogue with Gotye's song. I also felt that a snappy beat, like that of Uptown Funk, would complement their energetic choreography. I mashed the two songs together and am happy to share the result.
I refrained from making significant alterations to the original pieces to celebrate the naturalness by which they combine. It also allowed me to meet my strict deadline of no more than 24 hours of work from start to finish, which was also an excellent antidote to my often debilitating perfectionism - "good enough" is better than "perfect." Given more time, I may have accentuated the video with After Effects, adding light splashes, zooms, and camera shakes, but I won't. If you are a video artist, you can play with it and send me a link; I'm curious to see what you'll create. As a wise philosopher once said: "Everything is a Remix."
I dedicate this work to all the talented people who created its delightful source materials:

Excellent mashup! And the dancers only prove that a good choreography fits to every song. 👍
Thank you!
While a good choreography can indeed fit many songs, some songs still complement it better than others - which was the motivation behind my efforts.
A throwback mashup we didn't know we need!
Very very good. Impressive that you made it in one day!⏳
Thank you! 😃
I was fortunate to enter a pleasant flow state; it was as if the mashup created itself.
I have sent the original video to a friend! Guess I’ll to do this again!
I feel privileged - thank you for sharing this too! 🙏😃
This mashup is beyond average "funky". This jam is Parliament Funkadelic "P-Funk", traveling at warp speed, and light years away type of FUNKY!!!!
Well done Oded Raz!

Oh. My. God. OMG! The BEST mashup EVER!!!
How did (CDK and) Oded DO this? Those songs [unexpectedly] work so well together! Amazing.
THANK YOU for this, Oded!!!
Wow, what a heartwarming response! Thanks, @a2mark57. 😃
I used AI-based Spleeter to break the two songs into their main components (vocals, drums, instruments, etc.), then mixed them back again in Cubase 12. While I knew intuitively that Uptown Funk would work with Gotye, it was a pleasant surprise to find the two were already on the same D Minor scale (yet with different fundamental tunings; one is the classical A on 440Hz, and the other is about 20 cents lower). I later used Audiowarp to make the laidback Gotye performance as tight as possible, enriched it with a few drum samples and sound effects for the video (knocks, claps), and finished it off with subtle EQ, Compression, and Reverb effects to match the overall color.
The greatest "Thank You" is sharing the mashup with others - I appreciate you spreading the word!
Amazing how well they combine. Genius on top of genius on top of genius!
Thanks! 😊

Great job!
Dang! The other Track playing with & behind the Original Sound has just about ruined this Song & Dance of Expressive Dancing; which I Love! This was pretty bad; Sorry! However; the Original Song & the Dancer's, BRAVO🎉
I appreciate your sincerity. 🌷
