Listening to the 20th cnetury

"DJ Food - Raiding the 20th Century" is an amazing
piece of the sound mixing art.
Until I listened to this, I have never thought that
sound mixing itself could be a form of art.

I don't know others but I have a tendency to regard
art is to be seen but not to be heard, or
sound is just an additional element for visible art works,
except master pieces of music.

As I listened to this work I could not only stop nodding
my head according to the rhythm,
shaking my feet, but also thinking about
what this mixture of various kinds of sound, such as
instrumental and digital sound, pop songs, raps, parts
of speeches, and advertisements, is trying to tell us,
and what the artist wants to represent through this work.

The artist, Strictly Kev, uses an interesting method to tell his opinion
by repeating some words, such as 'liberty,' adding some funny lines,
for example 'sorry for interrupting you, but we are short of time,'
'John is not crazy.' His work is inspiring me and changed my
typical mind about art. And also starting with the 20th Century Fox
theme intro and ending with its outro is relevant to prove his
main theme "Everything Has To End..."
