Summary
I took a song and slowed it down, changed the key, and made it sarcastic. For this project, I chose “Warpigs”. I chose this song because it’s one of my favorite songs, its a good one and it seemed like it would lend itself to the warping of this project. Instead of the usual E, D, G, Gb, and F, I used Emin, Dmin, Gmin, Gbmin, and F min.

MP3 (Audio File): Used to store audiobooks and music on a hard drive; Close to CD-quality sound; the higher quality sound comes from higher bit rates which also take up more storage space
