Does knowing how to make it, or making it easy to reproduce make it less impressive
Participation- for instance the IPunk by Daft Punk 'game' on the internet http://dothedaft.com/ relies on people remaking/ recreating the 'original' music by Daft Punk. It also gives the song an extra edge because it gives people the opportunity to go and do it themselves, it adds another dimension as its different to just listening to a song in your car.
Modification- Dj Shadow, changing those little elements/details to create one brand new song. Basically Remix.
Authenticity Disrupted- For instance Dan Black making the point in his music video Symphonies that he has recreated/copied/taken inspiration from something similar or infact the same.


Jack. This requires expansion. The key AO is your engagement with the texts, you will need to undertake wider reading in order to understand the 'difficulty' surrounding the work of DJ Shadow. Similarly think about the debates surrounding our participation in Daft Punks work, does our participation invalidate their creativity?
ReplyDeleteAlso with Dan Black why is he highlighting the lack of originality in his work (this is somewhat of a paradox). Once you've watched everything is a copy with Mr Ford you will need to reconsider you notion of creativity.
