Mama Christianson

My mom used to sing opera. I thought today I’d put up some songs that I “collaborated” with her on a while back — I think I did these in 2003, when I was thinking about applying to CalArts — needed some padding for the portfolio, so these songs were birthed. These are all traditional Japanese and Korean folk songs, sung a cappella, with me then adding electronic effects after. Like most everything I do, they’re a bit sketch-like; I hope to some day delve deeper into this sort of thing. At the time my electronic music experience was quite limited, so these serve as a bit of a time capsule or work-in-progress marker for me.
