"What Do You Want"


For this sound track I selected a variety of sounds and audio clips to create a sense of uneasiness and possibly cause a mixed emotion of anxiety with a hint of ease. I chose a few "old timey" pieces to create a sense of dream like nostalgia and chopped it up with clips that could be considered annoying with a back drop  of repetition and fuzziness.

RiP! A Remix Manifesto

While watching the film a few different thoughts occur to me.
-DJ's, the original DJ's, the ones that actually used vinyl records (their own collection of other artist's music) have been creating amazing and entertaining music of their own for a very long time. Was that or is that still copyright infringement? I do feel this method of music making, vibe creating and crowd controlling does require a bit more skill and finesse than todays method, using the conveniences of technology and digital media. However the two are not that different.
-I also thought back to when I was in 6th grade and I used to go to stores in the mall that sold new CD's (do those even exist anymore??) I remember paying 5$ for a single that had no more than 2 pop songs on it. Now I cant even remember the last time I paid for music that wasn't live. I don't need to own it, I'm completely content borrowing it from Pandora or the library.
-"The concept of intellectual property is addictive. Once you realize that ideas are more profitable than oil, gold or even land, then there's no limit to what can be thought of as property." This sums up my feelings throughout the viewing of the video. And as an artist who likes to collage, it's not the first time that I've wondered if I could be sued for using images from the internet or magazines. But what has bothered me more than that is how easily anyone could steal my imagery, my ideas and my art.
-None of this is a problem until profit is involved.

Text Links

After reading both links I can quickly conclude that I was more drawn to and absorbent of the information in "Meet your Type". I feel this is simply because of the font and type and mostly because the main ideas are broken up into segments making the information more accessible. If all of my academic text books were in a similar pamphlet style, my life would be so much easier. I also agree with a topic that "A Brief History of Type" touched on, which is considering which fonts are appropriate for the subject matter. Text or font can really set the mood and flow for a passage or piece of writing if applied thoughtfully.
