Cut-up Technique and Beats Tutorial

The Cut-up technique is an aleatory literary technique in which some text is cut up and rearranged to create new sentences. This technique can be traced back to the Dadaists of the 1920s, but became popular in the late 1950s by William S. Burroughs, who is a famous writer.

This technique has also been used by many musicians, including David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, and Thom Yorke, where they usually take single lines, form them into random sentences, and use those sentences as lyrics for their song.

Although I think that this technique can rob music of its personal message and creativity, I still find it to be an interesting technique to use in some occasions.

Here is a little beat that I created thanks to the beats tutorial. I wasn’t sure if I had to post it originally, so I’m doing it now just in case. Have a great spring break!
