Em oceans

.forum - week four.

A recent and growing interest in ‘mash-up art’ and ‘culture jamming’ has lead me to taking a slightly different approach for the Nine Indian Emotions composition exercise. Composing music using fragments of other artist's work is something that is faced with unfortunate controversy. After being rigorously schooled in the laws of copyright at university, I was again reminded of the problems mashup artists faced when I legally downloaded Girl Talk’s album Feed the Animals from illegal-art.net. He’s employed the same release model as Radiohead - pay what you want. After I selected to pay $0 a curious survey question came on screen:



Well I do value music made from sampling – so I’ve decided to sample the following tracks for my composition exercise. I have not used any lyrical sampling.

Phillip Glass – Vessels, Koyaanisqatsi
