Outline:

  • Sampling is practiced in new media culture when any software users including creative industry professionals as well as average consumers apply cut/copy and past in diverse software applications (such as Microsoft Word).
  • Cut/copy and paste is a vital new media feature in the development of Remix
  • Cut/copy and paste is necessary in Web 2.0 in order to develop mashups
  • Mashups are not always remixes
  • Two types of mashups:
    1. Regressive- common in music and is often used to promote two or more previously released songs Example: Christina Aguilera with the Strokes
    2. Reflexive- usually found outside of music and most commonly in web 2. applications Example: news feed remixes Remix Defined
      • A reinterpretation of a pre-existing song Three types of Remixes
      • Extended Remiz- meaning that a longer version of the original song is created -more mixable for a club DJ
      • Selective Remix- consists of adding or subtracting material from the original song
      • Reflexive Remix- allegorizes and extends the aesthetic of sampling, where the remixed version challenges the aura of the original and claims autonomy even when it carries the name of the original. -material is added or deleted but original tracks are left the same. Mashups Defined
        • Foundation of musical masups can be found in the megamix
        • The megamix is composed of intricate music and sound samples
        • It is the extension of the song medley
        • The difference etween a medley and a megamix is that the medley is performed by one band
        • A megamix has a single band playing the compositions
        • A megamix is a an electronic medle consisting of a samples from pre-existing sources

developed in web 2.0 the most effective mashups are updated constantly

  • The Remediative Mashup in music is regressive because it samples to present recorded information which immediately becomes meta information, meaning that the individual can then understand it at a meta-level
  • The regressive mashup depends on the recorded signs that are mashed up
  • Recorded best to repeat
  • Even when mashups updates itself constantly with new information, such information Is futile if the person that is using the technology is not critical of the material being accessed. .
