ChicaSkas 22,993 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I am so happy about this, that I want to post it in Audio too for all of you who don't really scope out News too much.(I rarely am in News unless something happens I'm interested in) This is so cool. I hope you enjoy it like I do! DAY 22 OF GAGADAILY'S 24 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS THE POKER FACEBOOK Remixer Greg Dunbar, creator of the critically acclaimed 'Poker Facebook' EP, has released here for the first time a GagaDaily EXCLUSIVE edit made especially for this Christmas Countdown celebration. Lady Gaga: The Poker Facebook (RoomDrifter Extended Remix) 12-22-2013 http://soundcloud.com/chicaskas/poker-facebook-roomdrifter I had the pleasure of being able to interview Mr. Dunbar briefly about his works on the 'Poker Facebook' EP. Greg Dunbar: "Hello, Chica! Thank you again for your interest in this! Lady Gaga just has an uncanny range both vocally and across genres, which makes her such a fantastic artist to mix, mash and experiment with. She also gives off the perception of welcoming all interpretations of art, both created by her and others. That really helps boosting the confidence of those who are inspired to reimagine her work." ChicaSkas: "What parts were more challenging to mix when you were producing The Poker Facebook?" Greg Dunbar: "Some of the songs were just a lucky match (the intro, for example, a live performance of Poker Face that naturally fit well with 'Creep' from The Social Network's trailer). Others were a bit tougher, most notably "Telephone the Whole" which I tried 500 different ways before resorting to just sampling Reznor's track and making a whole new pop beat underneath the vocals." ChicaSkas: "How were you inspired to make this unique set?" Greg Dunbar: "I was floored by Trent Reznor's soundtrack for The Social Network, but couldn't figure out what to do with it. The girl I was crushing on at the time loved movies and had just told me her favorite artist was Gaga, so I thought combining the two would be the perfect way to impress her. I realized how eye-rollingly similar my motives were to that of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (the film bookends with his desire to impress a girl), but the difference is that by the time I finally finished the mashups, I had lost interest in her and still haven't sent it to her." ChicaSkas: "So, what's your favorite song on the EP?" Greg Dunbar: "Probably the final track (Monster vs. Painted Sun in Abstract), mainly because Monster is easily my favorite Lady Gaga song. It's definitely the most experimental of the mix, so I tried taking that to next level with soundbites from the film." ChicaSkas: "Where can we discover more of your mashups and remixes?" Greg Dunbar: "Feel Free to contact me!" Twitter: @gregdunbar1 www.soundcloud.com/roomdrifter facebook.com/roomdrifter ____________________________________________ And so I would! Greg created the EP entitled: Lady Gaga: The Poker Facebook" in mid-2011. I didn't discover it until months later, when I was scouring SoundCloud as usual for Gaga remixes... and by chance saw his works in a Mash-Up group. The hauntingly gorgeous choral version of Radiohead's 'Creep'; mashed with 'Poker Face', entitled 'Intro-Seduction', stood out to me instantly as a very beautiful standalone ballad, with the piano tones and pleading vocals melding perfectly to produce this oddly Christmassy vibe. I fell in LOVE with it. But, the original track was too short, at barely over one minute long, and had an abrupt ending that coincided with the soundtrack of the film at that point.... akwardly. So I contacted Roomdrifter again on SoundCloud. He patiently listened to my ideas of an extension and a better ending to the track, and to my utter delight he agreed to remake his work for our aural pleasure! So it is with great happiness that I present the finished track to you here today, to celebrate the incredible versatility Gaga's voice offers, and the endless creative bounds her fanbase achieves every day, interpreting her works of sound and her message. Many thanks to the creator Greg Dunbar aka RoomDrifter!
