“(Mike) WiLL didn’t know Cyrus, but (Peter) Edge did. She was signed to RCA. WiLL talked her into recording We Can’t Stop, coaching her through it. “I was like, ‘Yo, use that country twang,’ ” WiLL recalls. “ ‘I hear it, but you are trying to hide it.’ So she started using her country twang. That made it all-the-way dope.”

Assignment:

Go to the future. Make music. Bring it back to the present.

It should be a very short piece or an excerpt. Less than two minutes. It can be a remix of a song that you believe represents a future direction in music. Near future or distant future – your choice. Use any tools to create the music.

The result: audio or a live performance in class

Due: in class on Sept. 29
