Curated by Jon Leidecker, VARIATIONS reconstructs the history of sound
appropriationism by looking at examples from 20th century composition,
popular art and commercial media, and the convergence of all these trends
today. In the seventh episode of the series, we trace through examples of
the popular music that brought the term 'remix' into the popular lexicon,
hear the CD player joining the turntable as a live performance instrument,
and connect digital sampling to the history of musical borrowing: written
notation’s classical equivalent to the editing techniques that modern
composers use to transform existing music into new compositions.
