After going through DJ Spooky’s “Rhythm Science,” I thought it was so interesting how just changing the order of paragraphs and phrases could change and give new meaning to an essay.  I knew this is what I wanted to do with this Webspinna project, exploring the Internet and giving meaning to different sounds.  As I began to explore, I started to realize how many remakes of different songs there are.  For example, “You Spin Me Round” by the band Dead or Alive was popular in 1985 and was brought back in 2009 when Flo Rida incorporated it into his song “Right Round”.  Incorporating this idea into my Webspinna, I also kept reflecting back to things from my childhood.  I remember watching the old 60s Spiderman cartoons with my brothers, reading The Giving Tree with my mom, and watching the World Cup with my dad. I wanted to show a part of who I am.  I incorporated the old Spiderman theme song, but then switched it up and threw in the new version of the same song by Michael Buble.  I ended with the end of The Giving Tree when the old man sits down on the tree stump.  This represents where I will eventually end up in life because of my accomplishments, but also because of all my parents have provided and supported me with. I wanted to try and show the progression I have made and will make in my life. I thought the whole process was so much fun and a great learning experience.  I practiced at home many times to get it perfect, and it was such a rush performing it in front of the class just like any performance in front of a crowd. Last Friday, I felt like such an artsy person sitting in a dark room listening to loud sounds all night, but it was such a neat experience.  I loved getting together with my classmates outside of class.  I really feel like there is a unity that has been established within our class.   We have created an environment where I am comfortable sharing my ideas, thoughts, and creative projects.
