The work with the musical life stories (HdVM) allows us to make sense of the songs, the music with which the students have worked, in order to remix them later.
When we work with the students with remix sets made with their music, the collages they create are not only musical but also begin to articulate and put into play their cultural references. Making music with a piece of your cultural memory by combining it with another piece of your partner's and creating something that is neither one thing nor the other, that is from a hybrid place that is creatively negotiated in the classroom.
The second year of intervention in CEIP San José Obrero, in the third trimester of 5th grade, we used the tool we were developing (play.antropoloops) to compose music with fragments of the students' songs. With all these sound pieces from the class, each group chooses and creates a sound collage that is then performed for other classes in the final exhibition of the course.
scores
As the loops are activated with the computer keyboard, each group creates its own "notational system" to make a score, and end up giving names to their compositions such as "el flautista traper", "marcha de semana santa de venezuela" or "Trap de puerto Bolivia...".
