about

in october(?) 2014 Taylor Swift's new single was released in canada. it immediately shot to #1 because people bought it before listening to it.
it was 8 seconds of white noise.
so here and there in good humour were calls for remixes of Taylor's new hit song. the one i submitted to did specify it was to be no longer than 8 seconds in length but the challenge gave me a different idea so i made this, then sampled 8 seconds of it for my entry.
i originally intended to use samples of Taylor's voice. i'd never heard her and did some research. i decided she's a decent human being, a smart human being, has a good voice when it isn't ruined with autotune, and possesses fortitude. (although i don't much care for formulaic, recycled teenybopper pop)
i decided however to abandon my sample idea for legal reasons and used instead some recordings that i had kicking around, mostly of friends.
. . . i like to entertain a fantasy of Taylor being inspired by the whole event and one day exploring music that she never imagined before, music the labels would reject; then releasing it on her own, turning on masses of young zombies to adventurous sound exploration.
i can dream can't i?
