Default Is Remixed Music Art?
Hey All, My name is Keron, I am currently doing a documentary on remix culture and i signed up for this forum to possibly get a couple ideas from all the members here so if you can take some time to answer a couple of my questions that would be cool...

Is Remixed Music a Legitimate Art form?
Do you think its creative?
Is remixing music a reflection of post modern society that has made it so popular in today's society?
Do you think that there are cultural/generational boundaries of remixing music?
Is it Legal or is there a loophole in copyright laws that doesnt apply to remixed music?




Also, is there anyone in the Hudson Valley/Ulster area of NY that is a credible source that is willing to do an ON CAMERA interview

there many times where I prefer the remix to the original. But for some reason it just SEEMS like it might be easier to improve on something then start from scratch. Not a music creator.. but I always look out for remixes on my favorite songs because they are often more interesting.

Remixing can take talent. If your a Dj you know how hard it can be, however sometimes remixes are just awful. Sometimes they are better.

Sort of takes talent, but i don't think it's art.

Sometimes you can do some really cool stuff. Most of the time it's generic and boring.

Yeah, I'd definitely call it art - just as much as creating the original music. It involves a creative process and you can't just ignore that because they used something else as a starting point, especially when remix artists often completely overhaul a song's composition.

Its not the destruction o art, its the creation o a new interpretation. Endtroducing is one o the most creative albums ever concieved... and there isnt an original note on it

I would say so.

Yes and no. I think most people above a certain age don't really get it, but that doesn't mean that they all don't get it.

I have no idea, but there certainly seem to be a lot of remixes that are done with the approval of the original artist. I'd imagine those are completely legal.

At it's best yes. At it's worst no.
