Abstract

In most cases parodies are created by people who genuinely love and respect the particular genre they parody. I guess "The Experimental Music Man" is a unique case. Since being introduced to The Music Man and experimental music, I have regarded both with disdain. I wrote "The Experimental Music Man" to blatantly display this dislike. Producing this audio parody, though, utilized elements I have passion for, such as writing for comedy, voice acting, and audio production. The tracks contained on this CD are a capstone of my Ball State career, and a product of both what I love and loathe.
