Everything Is a Remix (Part One) - Must Watch Documentary
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.

I’ve often joked with friends that at the rate we are going with sampling, with less and less time between the creation of the original work and the use of it in a sample, that the creative process behind pop music (in particular) is very much a serpent about to eat its tail.
But this short video, 8 minutes, has shown me that this process has been going on for much longer than I knew. We all think our generation invented the tools of cool.
This is a must watch video, and I can not wait to see the next 3 parts.
