I wanted to try out a new take on fanmixes, and also I was thinking a lot about PK/Carey at the time, and started working on something experimental where I mixed found sounds and songs together in a single track, instead of making a playlist. It was really fun, and challenging, and I really enjoyed it, but it was a long process with a lot of thought into it, and I wanted to take the chance off-AO3 to make an annotated post about the project, with links to all the found sounds etc. So this is that!
One thing I loved about the found sounds, interviews, game broadcasts, and instagram videos was that it really helped me define the narrative I wanted the fanmix to take, and helped with the storytelling though sound and music, which was a really fun element of it. The process of finding specific sounds, whether that was finding PK's first NHL goal, or listening to tons of sportsnet coverage to find the right level of despair about Carey's bad years, was definitely long and arduous at points, but it was really fun, and I definitely collected way more content than I needed. I also think it works well in hockey where the sport and teams produce so much ephemera, so much content, that preserving it and including it in the narrative was really fun. For each "track" I've included a link to the source material, and some reasoning behind why I chose it/some background.
