WRITING + SOUND + REMEDIATION

how music culture is influenced by textuality

MEDIA

Which medium stands out to you?

     Presented below are a selection of different renditions of "La Vie en Rose," ranging from Louis Armstrong's timeless adaptation to a personal cover uploaded to Soundcloud. Because of the time that the song has been in existence, and the many popular renditions of the piece, it is likely that one particular remediation speaks to you the most, and presents the most emotional impact. As you listen and watch this selection of media artifacts, think on which one that is - do you feel most connected to French music, EDM, or, perhaps, acoustic covers? The answer to this will vary within communities because of personal preference, which beautifully illustrates the power of cross-medium existence of a textual artifact containing a powerful message.
