Robert had wanted to release the full film for remix, but fears about enabling the reuse of original Fox materials got that idea stopped.

The Fox one is particularly good. But does anyone know of great conservative remix culture? Attacks on Kerry? Or liberals? music remixmusic remix 06/05/2004 01:42 PM Jerry Lobdill writes with this interesting story about a remix culture now regulated: This is an example of the kind of art flamenco is--or was. And I speak particularly about the guitar here. The roots of flamenco are lost in the mists of time. They go back at least into the late 1700s, but probably farther. At this time there are over 40 distinct forms which are each characterized by a specific repetitive rhythmic pattern termed "compas", a specified musical mode (major, minor, or phrygian), and certain signature resolution phrases or other unique musical features. I have played flamenco guitar for 47 years. When I was learning to play, the current versions of the forms could be traced back to a few virtuosos who came on the scene as early as 1905 or thereabouts. Every form is played as a series of sections that are distinct in melody and are sandwiched between more or less standard rhythmic sections characteristic of the form. The melodic sections are called "falsetas". The sections are played in whatever order a player chooses and players spend spare time trying to invent new falsetas or modifying old ones. Most players know the genealogy of their falsetas to some extent, but anything that is older than a couple of generations is usually of unknown origin. Lore has it that great flamenco guitarists invent falsetas on the fly during performance. This is nonsense. But that's another story. Hardly any guitarist can read music and/or uses any kind of notation to commit falsetas to paper. In the cante (song) the verses (letras) and the melodies are generally very old though most are associated with the name of the originator. Through the 1950s it was expected that players would play mostly traditional things with minor additional innovations. The falsetas of a particular player did not usually evolve from one recording to the next, and, indeed, players had favorite falsetas that they played for years. But as soon as recording industry moguls got involved all that changed. Nowadays they are claiming copyright on everything that is recorded, even the traditional portions that have been played since antiquity. Guitarists such as Paco de Lucia are pushed and prodded to innovate, and he has said publicly that the creation of new material is the most difficult part of what he does in this modern environment. Yet even his innovations (when he plays flamenco instead of the bastardized watered down stuff he mostly plays these days) contain traditional resolution phrases and rhythmic sections that define the forms and are ancient anonymous creations. Spanish copyright has gone crazy locking up the public domain along with the new in recent years. I have reams of manuscript transcripts of fabulous flamenco guitar music that will never be published because of the abuse and tyranny of copyright law. Like many non-Spanish flamenco guitar players, I play what I consider to be the best--just like Spaniards did before commercialization of the art. It's sad that all this will never be published for the enjoyment of the world.(cf. "It's simple.") political remixpolitical remix 06/05/2004 01:42 PM Michael Tucker sent this link to a film he's making about the war in Iraq. "It includes two video clips that I think your readers will appreciate, no matter what their views on the war." Favorite quote from a soldier: "For y'all this is just a show, but we live in this movie." And I can't believe there isn't any conservative remixes out there. Really?

watercolor from Moira
Hahn, whose illustration work has appeared in Time, the
New Yorker, and elsewhere. About this remix of classic ukiyo-e
art -- which depicts a backyard conflict between cats and birds --
Moira says "Kuniyoshi was an influence, the primary Edo period ukiyo-e
artist who regularly depicted cats... [but] most of this composition
has been changed from various Edo and Meiji sources. The original
figures were human, patterns were different, and there was no owl."

Here's an excerpt from their site: After an extremely successful launch event, Remix Reading is pushing the boundaries of the local cultural community with a remix competition. Over the next month, we want to see who can create the best remix of a piece of work already on the website. There will be four winners, one in each category (audio, image, text, video). They will each receive the following great prizes:
* Your work on a LOCA Records compilation CD (if LOCA like it
enough) The closing date is Monday 11th April and the winners will be announced on Friday 15th April. The competition is being judged by a panel from Remix Reading, Creative Commons and LOCA Records. Slam poetry for CC remixSlam poetry for CC remix 07/23/2004 04:46 AM Wayne Mercier is a Vancouver slam poet who has just released his first book of poetry published, and along with it, a CD of him reading his work. He's made the entire audio of the CD available for downloand and remix under a Creative Commons license. I'm really excited about this, not just because it's a way of getting my stuff out into the world, but because - to my knowledge - this is the first time this has been done in Canadian poetry. Coach House Press releases electronic editions of their author's work but retains copyright. Also the fact that this is audio, and thus open to extensive remixing and incorporation into larger, multimedia projects, is very cool.Link (Thanks, Wayne!)
