16. Everything is a Remix Part 1
1 year ago
Remixing is a folk art but the techniques are the same ones used at any level of creation: copy, transform, and combine. You could even say that everything is a remix.

Think Elvis and Big Mama Thornton, if you will.
Elvis refused to be on the same bill as her when given an opportunity and did not pay her a single red cent for his using "Hound Dog," yet Janus Joplin was light-years more compassionate with sharing the proceeds of "Little Piece of My Heart," also from Big Mama, to her.
It's called artistic integrity, and you can argue all you like about their skills, but just remember where those skills came from, and how they paid back those influences (who were half of the Zeppelin ass you're describing) with a big fuck you.

I never really knew all that about Led Zep

Good popular history/philosophy.
The end 'standard drum riff' is, in my opinion, not really a copy..
It's like saying that the RED london bus is copied by the fire brigade.. it's just a common thing...

I'm saying this as a musician who composes, and samples.
In an age where record sales comprise such a small portion of a Composer's income, to take away publishing income will make it virtually impossible for most composers to make a living.
If I played the same beat on a drum machine it's just a beat.
If I played the same beat with the intention of achieving the original sound that John Bonham had on Led Zeppelin recordings (big drums/cymbals sound, large room reverb), that would be a remix.
All of the songs played as examples would qualify as remixes—keeping that original sound. I could find songs that have the same beat that sound nothing like it. Does this make them remixes? My answer is no.
Great job. Looking forward to the next episodes!
watch RIP:remix manifesto.
I like your work, everything is a remix even our works!!!
I thought you might find this quote inspiring.
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery-celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said:"It's not where you take things from- it's where you take them to." "
- Jim Jarmusch
I loved your video.
Hip Hop sampling comes directly from this tradition.
To me it's ironic that while hip hop and reggae sample openly, these artists have taken the brunt of the "unoriginal crooks" criticisms -- while artists like Zepplin who take musics largely unknown to the general public at the time and make no effort to acknowledge their influences get sort of a free pass

**One SMALL note. Sugarhill Gang technically didn't sample Chic, they hired a band to replay each line, and looped it.

Cheers!
Still love LZ songs :)
Great Video, thanks
I'm an art history student, this work should become a new movement in the history of art. Keep up the work.
I'm just sad that this fact needs to be pointed out at all. It just shows how unconscious western culture has become. :\
There were covers, of course, and "answer songs" (like Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy", which was recorded to "answer" Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man", which was itself a response to Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man", made famous by Waters), but you'll see the lyrics to Skip James' material showing up in a hundred other Blues songs with no credit given. The same thing is done quite regularly with riffs (it's not uncommon for a Blues artist to cannibalize their own material in this way; Bukka White and RL Burnside have both recorded several variations of the same basic song under wildly different titles with considerably different lyrics and arrangments). And then there's "St James Infirmary Blues" and "Streets of Laredo", which are both remixes of the 18th Century song "The Unfortunate Rake"...
What really sets Led Zeppelin apart is that they were outsiders to the tradition, (skillfully) appropriating both a sound and a practice. Remixing in the form you describe in this (wonderful) video, is simply a traditional Blues practice.
thank you so much, kirby. your work is truly enlightened
