The Intensity of J.K. Simmons' WHIPLASH Insanity Gets a Musical Remix by Eclectic Method
Whiplash is one of those rare films that came completely out of nowhere and completely blew my mind. Who would have thought a movie set in the world of jazz could be so damn intense?! This is by far J.K. Simmons' greatest performance, and he deservedly won an Oscar for it. He played one of the most insane and interesting characters ever put on film.
Eclectic Method’s Johnny Wilson and 16-year-old DJ/producer Genranon recently teamed up to create a musical remix using the intense and insulting dialogue of Simmons' character. They set it to an electronic jazzy beat, and this is the note that came along with the video:
In true respect to jazz this is one of those rare electronic tunes that goes through multiple keys in a 2-5-1 chord progression in 5/8 time signature...... Only joking it's a 4 to the floor smasher totally disrespectful to jazz as a whole but totally in keeping with the yelling rage of band leader Terence Fletcher. The modern classic that won 3 Oscars and was nominated for 5 has been cutup, rejiggled and made into a dance floor DJ friendly remix by Genranon and Eclectic Method.
You may like what they created, you may not. But if you want to listen to it, here ya go! Also, if you haven't seen Whiplash yet... what are you waiting for?!
