Approach

I wanted to make something related to how the song was made with a Launchpad and work from there, so I started with making a grid of cups I had in my room to resemble the Launchpad. I was then thinking about how to add more to it to maybe add a bit of a deeper level than just the obvious physical connection made in the video for the song. I initially added the blue cups in random order to look like the colors of the launchpad, but then I thought that arranging the blue cups in a smiling shape made more sense. This way it relates more to the title of the song, "Pop Culture," and it relates better to how the song was not randomly composed, but every button Madeon pressed was intentional in creating the music. I furthered it by adding the headphones on the top because the song was digitally created and remixed by a DJ. My reference for inspiration was linked above.
