While watching the Men's Figure Skating Long Program in the Olympic games, one competitor's song choice came to my attention. Florent Amodio skated to a mash up of several songs including Amelie soundtrack, composed by Yann Tiersen, mostly hip hop and techno tracks.
One short excerpt of his program, was skated to a remix of Chopin's Nocturne no.21 in C# Minor. I myself, not knowing the popularity of this piece found this to be quite interesting. I did some research and found the piece to be a remix by "The Re: Mind Orchestra" of which I could find no background information about.
I did however find a full track of this piece. The expressive, lyrical melodies in the original composition have a unique blend with the track behind it. Enjoy!
