Wishing to create my own remix, I compiled a number of audio samples of one of my cinematic heroes - German filmmaker Werner Herzog (Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Stroszek, Rescue Dawn). The audio was a mixture of interviews and acting performances he gave for other directors (such as Harmony Korine's Julien Donkey-Boy). Besides idolizing Herzog as an artist, I have always loved the sound of his accented voice, so it seemed like perfect fodder for my remix. I set these clips to groovy electronic loops from GarageBand. I also incorporated a small snippet of music from his 1982 film Fitzcarraldo. However, its mellow, ethereal nature clashed with the upbeat music I had laid down, so I used it sparingly. You can listen below to my mix, entitled "Ecstatic Truth"
