MGMT Kids covered with College everyday sounds!

This was done for my high school film class. The idea was to create a cover of a popular song using nothing but sounds recorded on the school campus - not just musical instruments, but also phone beeps and door slams and staplers and... you get the idea. Nothing is synthesized. I didn't write the original song, but I did personally arrange, record, process, mix, and master absolutely everything in this track, and even tweaked the lyrics. It took an absurd amount of work on my part alone, but I also need to thank everyone else involved in this mammoth project for their invaluable contributions - including a huge ensemble of musicians and sound effect makers, but particularly Jeff Lee, the visuals wizard in charge of video editing and most of the filming, and Mr. McCauley, our knowledgeable and supportive teacher, who worked through the second half of the project on a broken leg. This would not have been possible without such a ridiculously supportive network of collaboration, and you all have my sincere gratitude.
