New Media fosters creativity in many ways, one of the many ways are mash-ups in music. Which takes two songs and combines them using the vocals and beats from both songs. Mash-ups take a lot of creativity and work due to the need of two songs on the same key. Sasha Frere-Jones article " 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 The new math of mashups." talks about Jeremy Brown, a.k.a. DJ Reset took a song named Debra by Beck instrumental and searched for a vocal to go along with it Sasha Frere-Jones "Brown found that an a-cappella of “Frontin’,” a collaboration between the rapper Jay-Z and the producer Pharrell Williams, was approximately in the same key as “Debra.” The two songs are not close in style—“Debra” is a tongue-in-cheek take on seventies soul music, while “Frontin’ ” is hard and shimmering computer music—but the vocalists are doing something similar." New media fostered Brown's creativity in collaborating two songs from completely different genres. This is only one way new media fosters creativity and there are many other ways it does.
