watched this video today, the first part in an ongoing series, which i’m interested enough to follow up on. it reminded me of another archaeological music study on one specific sample called ‘the amen break‘ that a coworker shared a few years back.
what i like about this clip though is that it seems to promise that in future episodes, it will explore more of the implications of the endless remixing of culture, which is what’s fascinating. is all culture just other culture mixed around, sometimes even blatantly, and are we okay with that? do we maybe even prefer it?
if so, i can stop trying so hard to come up with new ideas and just spend a lot more time surfing the internet for old ones to ‘remix’…
