For a real song I have chosen “I Love You” by East of Underground. This song was recorded in a studio with live instruments. This song sounds realistic because the lead singer say’s take one at the begging. It also sounds realistic because the instruments don’t sound perfect like they would today. “I Love You” was also sampled by 21 Savage and is a great overall song.
For a hyperreal song I have chosen the song “Particle Mace” by Aye Nako. This song sounds realistic because the electric guitar has a solo in the beginning. It sounds artificial because the singer sounds perfect due to software making it sound nice and not raspy. This song is a rock song that was released in 2017.
The song that I have chosen thats surreal is “Drip or Drown” by Gunna. The elements that make this song not sound real is the fact that the high hats are so close together it would be impossible to play in real life. If this song was played live some of the instruments might have to be played by the computer. The melody like the piano and synth are able to be played by real instruments.
