Abstract

The formal analysis of mashups is generally overlooked because their structures are assumed to be derived from one or more of their component tracks. This article explores the generation of original formal structures in one of the most well-known and complex mashup artists, DJ Earworm. We show that the form of his mashups can neither be derived from a singular work nor be analyzed by their thematic or harmonic construction. Instead, verse–chorus forms are revealed by correlating mashup sections to the formal origins of their borrowed material, which is based on the composer’s writings and interviews, a history of formal correlation in the mashup genre, and multiple analyses.

感知马赛克：DJ Earworm混搭中的形式

摘要

混搭的形式化分析通常被忽略，因为它们的结构被假定为源自其一个或多个组成轨迹。本文探讨了最著名和最复杂的混搭艺术家之一DJ ​​Earworm中原始形式结构的生成。我们表明，他的混搭的形式既不能源自单一的作品，也不能通过其主题或谐调的结构来分析。取而代之的是，通过将混搭部分与其借来材料的正式来源相关联来揭示合唱形式，这是基于作曲家的著作和访谈，混搭类型中形式相关的历史以及多种分析得出的。
