Yoko Ono

I made a really great remix of a Yoko Ono song for a remix contest she had. Even cooler, we won the contest, and I got a nice little package from her, as well as a personal email. I think what I enjoyed most about doing it was, i just pretended that I knew nothing about Yoko Ono and paid close attention to her lyrics and voice. I really wanted the song to flow like her poem does in the song. And i’ve noticed that most people that work with Yoko- make everything as weird as possible – but this is sort of sweet and pretty and catchy. I know it’s super weird to say, but I wanted to do something that John might have appreciated..subvert the paradigm. Something that feels good. you can hear the remix here
