DJ FOOD

After hearing DJ Food's raiding the 20th century, i found myself questioning his motives. He did this to try and catalouge this history of transforming music in the 20th century. Using artists such as the Beastie Boy's and Jay-Z and Busta Rymes. He took their music and mixed in other sounds, such as scratching. His sound was very interesting to listen to. He does a great job of making a point with his bizzar peice. Taking the beats of songs and putting them behind rap superstars, fading out of songs and going back to old time radio sounding talking. One could analyze this peice in a college disertation. If you haven't have time to listen to this peice you definately SHOULD!!!! DJ FOOD

Bart Simpson

The bart edit was interesting. However removing a word makes the sound clip no longer run smoothly. After we removed makeup test, her voice was at a different pitch than she was at before makeup was said, therefor it sounded edited and was kind of disapointing.

DJ Herc

DJ HERC AKA Clive Campbell "I;m not stealing all their music. I'm using your drum tack, I'm using this little "bip" from him, I'm using your baseline that you don't even like no fucking more."
Using a detournement banal, he takes individual peices of artworks (songs) and using them as building materials, to create his own work. DJ take other works, and mix them, scratch them, and carefully craft a playlist that fills their own musical creative ideas to the best of their abilities. DJ Herc is "According to All Music Guide, he was the originator of break-beat DJing, where the breaks of funk songs—being the most danceable part, often featuring percussion—were isolated and repeated for the purpose of all-night dance parties (AMG [1]). Later DJs such as Grandmaster Flash refined and developed the use of breakbeats, including cutting."

Rice is Nice!

Have you ever wanted to get a message out the world, and wanted a creative way togo about doing so? Often times I wanted to make people aware of issues that are important to me. Annina Rust has created an interesting peice that does just that! The eRiceCooker, this peice searches the internet for any articles deailing with genetically modified rice. When an article is found rice is added to the cooker. When enough of the rice is added to the cooker water is then added and the rice is cooked! Then emails are sent out inviting you to eat the rice. The more articles writen the more rice cooked, the more rice cooked the more people become aware of the GM rice issue. A very interesting work. Check it out for yourself, eRiceCooker!
