Listening: Mr. Rogers Remix

These days, computers allow us to create music out of any kind of sound. You can even change the words someone speaks so that it sounds like a note!

In the video below, you will hear a remix of scenes from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. A remix is a song in which the original song or, in this case, spoken words, are changed to create a new song. The pitch of Mr. Rogers' voice has been edited using a computer so that it sounds like notes in the song. 

This could also be an example of sampling. Sampling takes parts, or samples, of a sound recording and reuses it in another song or piece of music.
