Working on devolving the nutshack theme into its true ironic essence.
Nice meme! Each composition flows well from the previous one, and your documentation does a good job of explaining the changes you made. Additionally, this shows a deep understanding of the work it's based on, especially the last layer which brings it back to the original meme. This sounds like something I would expect to hear on YouTube as a nutshack remix.
The choice of audio is great here and gives you a lot to work with. It’s a good choice of meme because it can be reworked in so many ways.
As it evolves I think you found more opportunities in playing with the words more so than the audio itself. And this was definitely the right direction. The call and response aspect found in Layer 5 is a great way of reworking phrases into a more interesting outcome. And Sohail’s final response is a clever return to the original meme.
However, without explanation this isn’t obvious from the audio itself. If you were to take this further how do you think you could make it clear from the audio alone what you’ve done?
I also think the starting track might have been too long to remix well in the responses. It might have helped to really cut this down. The mixes get a little messy and busy but you recognize this and cut it down during the match which was a great decision. From a technical perspective, pay attention to audio levels when mixing tracks - make sure both samples match up other wise they clash.
Your reflection at the end is great btw.
