I’m a little late with this post, but it’s not too late to check out the Blogger Book Club that’s been going on all week over at Mind The Gap. The assignment that several music bloggers chose to accept was to read Lawrence Lessig’s Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy and post our thoughts, impressions, and what have you. Here are my two contributions:
- The Art of Imitation (March 19, 2009)
- The Unanswered Question (March 17, 2009)
The whole exercise has been a lot of fun for me. I feel like I’m back in doctoral ethnomusicology colloquium. And I mean that in a good way. It’s been a while since I’ve engaged with literature addressing what’s current in the field. Check it out.

Galen Brown over at Sequenza21 comments on my last post and informs me that Radiohead samples Paul Lansky’s first computer piece, mild und leise, on “Idioteque” from their Kid A album. Here’s the story, as told by Lansky himself. Actually, I knew this (that Radiohead sampled Lansky). My friend, who teaches middle school music (very progressively, I might add) does a unit on sampling for his kids. He plays “Idioteque” by Radiohead followed by the Lansky work, asking his students to try and identify the portion of the work that Radiohead samples.
