<li>Remember when I was going to wait to talk about copyright? Yea, well it's time.
</li>
<li>big news: creator of amen getting money
</li>
<li>I have problems with this, and I am quite conflicted.
</li>
<li>First, amen break is this
</li>
<li>came from song "Amen Brother" a funk restyling of a Gospel tune "Amen" as a B-Side of their hit "Color Him Father"
</li>
<li>and if you didn't know, it's EVERYWHERE
</li>
<li>So.. what are the problems I see with this?
</li>
<li>#1, it's not the creator, but the copyright holder that is getting the money
</li>
<li>There are 2 creators to this break: The drummer, adn the engineer. Both are responsible for it's sound
</li>
<li>The drummer Gregory Coleman for his performance
</li>
<li>The engineer Rodney Mills, made the SOUND - unique!
</li>
<li>#2, Copyright holder considers the music spawned by the break as "plagiarism" and "bullshit"
</li>
<li>What?
</li>
<li>Wikipedia: Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. The idea remains problematic with unclear definitions and unclear rules.
</li>
<li>Really opens up a can of worms about sampling, copyright, and ownership of ideas
</li>
<li>He goes on to say that he "considers it another chapter in the plundering of African-American cultural patrimony.
</li>
<li>Can a white guy from Canada sitting at the top of priveledge really comment here?
</li>
<li>Yes please, I would love a can-opener for this costco sized can of worms.
</li>
<li>plundering on a continuum.
</li>
<li>One side hip hop.
</li>
<li>On the other side Jeep, with use of break on a commercial.
</li>
<li>#3 If the break weren't sampled, wouldn't have this conversation.
</li>
<li>It's because the lack of rules on the high seas of remix culture that it became popular.
</li>
<li>Hip hop wouldn't exist as we know it if it were not for asampling, let alone jungle / drum n bass.
</li>
<li>This song wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the original in the first place
</li>
<li>#4 questions around creation of art ANOTHER VIDEO
</li>
<li>venerate artist as original, but artist is informed by their culture
</li>
<li>creation 46 years ago
</li>
<li>Despite all this, I've donated. I love the break.
</li>
<li>Here is to the drummer Gregory Coleman.
</li>

First Salvo of the Lords of Entropynil2015-02-17T10:16:00Z2015-02-17T10:16:00Zmusic/2015/02/17_first-salvo-of-the-lords-of-entropy.html<p>
This is the outcome of an "Epic Ambient Battle" with a friend of mine.

Samples are from Terre Thaemlitz during a talk at RBMA. The first one is: "This Trombone was fucked up"
</p>
<p>
The second one is rather lengthy, I have transcribed it (with some additional context) here:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The way the individuality functions, it functions within a relation to a very specific western historical narrative that of course led into the whole humanist approach. It's also very tied into our economic relationships under capitalism, even how capitalism is feeding into third world nations, it's like the promised way to get out, everyone has access to a potential success
</p>
<p>
And I think that in creative media as well, even the world creative I just fucking hate it. It's really problematic I think because, first of all the history of creativity under patriarchy is uterine envy of males to give birth, but also I think all of these fictions about the fact that within the social environment that relies on connectivity that the language we use to say that we all exists together is about individuality, but there is some kind of gap going on. I think that the gap of being an individual within a society is something that clouds relationships and ultimately feeds into our developing these lives that are very much about the nuclear family. Having your own little life that is about your own house, your own cars, your own property, your own children–that is also about a properly relationship, passing on property, etc.–and that all of these things are tied into this notion of creativity and individuality and all this stuff.
</p>
<p>
I think most people want to think of it as a way of getting away from all that stuff. Being an individual is to not be a robot. To be totally different. Usually when people pursue these things they become more robotlike, because there is a very strict pattern for becoming an individual. WE know the signifiers, we know the clothing, the music taste, if they are using a Mac or a PC, if you hvae an iPhone or not. Of course these are very established things we project our identity through.
