Music Monday: Bloomin' Pogo

The other day one of the comic artists I follow on Twitter, @kinokofry, posted a silly link that made her giggle (that's what Twitter is for, right?). I clicked it, found it amusing, and then ventured through some of the related videos.

All the videos were by a remix artist who goes by the name Pogo, and I have to say he's quite unique in his craft. Whereas most remixes target the Top 40, Pogo samples bits and pieces from various film and TV soundtracks and clips. For instance, he has songs sampling "Lord of the Rings," "Up," and "the Mighty Boosh."

The song I want to share today is a mix of various Disney films called "Bloom." According to the artist, "Bloom" is "a patchwork of vocals and musical chords from various Disney films. I recorded the harp sample from 'Sleeping Beauty', and a series of chords from 'A.I: Artificial Intelligence' to form the base of the chorus. The vocals are sampled from Disney films, each of which are illustrated in this video." The video is below.


As with the last Music Monday post, this one has a download link! All of Pogo's tracks are available on his site, and you can choose how much you would like to purchase them for. Free is an option, too! But it's always good to support artists that you enjoy. Happy listening!
