Fortylises by Buttress O'Kneel
u know how a while back i put four versions of the Four Seasons on top of each other and called it art? this time i put forty versions of Für Elise on top of each other. ART! ART! ART!
i panned them a bit to get maximum füreliseness. also, because some people play it slower than others, they all were different lengths, and i didn't want it to be superdense and then trail out to be just one long version at the end... so i kinda stacked them based around that one bit where the riff kinda comes back in again at the 1:44 mark - so they're all kinda centred around this one moment of return.
ART! ART! ART!
oh also the artwork was going to be 40 versions of Für Elise record covers, but in the end i only did 20 - it was ridiculous enough. feel free to add more yrself.
also if u like this kinda thing, remember i also have this little number, Many Parts (Mirror in a Mirror in a Mirror...), which is a whole bunch of Mirror in a Mirror by Arvo Pärt slapped over each other. not sure how many or why... but it's here if u wanna hear it again after listening to fortylises.

“Words like "mashup" and "remix" don't really do justice to Buttress O'Kneel's method - Top 40 pop crap gets sliced, diced, and tossed into a dizzying, exciting hardcore electro stew. Compared to other djs who timidly drop a Vanilla Ice acapella over a Chemical Bros intro just to move a dance floor, O'Kneel shreds copyrights with a blood-curdling vehemence. Smash the state!”
