Year 9 Music Project – The MTR Remix by Bernard Tam

To start off with, this was one of my music projects in Mr. Wan’s class. We were supposed to perform a piece of music, whereby most people played the piano. However, I prefer to proceed with the electronic route – I made an unconventional remix.
 This remix is a dance track mixed with the Hong Kong’s most famous Mass Transit Railway announcements. Well, how did this idea come to my mind? My friend Hugo kept on mumbling these announcements in Mathematics class which made everyone laugh. I reckoned that these MTR announcements is very familiar with the people of Hong Kong. I wanted to make something with a deep sense of cultural heritage out of my music project, and therefore I have decided to adopt these announcements which suddenly flashed across my mind.
The results of my performance was unexpected.
My classmates were very confused about the performance as there was a video playing in the background – a few cute cartoons dancing to Gangnam Style, while the music was playing… and it was not in sync.
I then played the track one more time, this time without the distracting video. They were laughing hilariously this time. *Ding*, my performance was a success! Bernard Tam-year 9
