Remediation (Bolter & Grusin) is about my mixing skills.
"new media achieve their cultural significance by paying homage to, riding, and refashioning such earlier media"
I really enjoy blending in tunes from the 70s with music made in the 2020s. Music is a conversation. Bolter & Grusin have pushed me to go further.
"..all attempts to achieve 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘤𝘺 by ignoring or denying the presence of the medium..
.. or 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘤𝘺 - a fascination with the medium itself..
.. although these two appear contradictory, they are in fact the two necessary halves of 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯"
I'll hear a bass line and play something random that resolves it. I'll follow a messy krautrock melter with a chart #1 single. It's an old (hate to say the word) jazz lesson: try really hard to bypass everything but your intuition in the moment, and you're good!
I like creative transitions and don't like to play by the rules. I question it often. Maybe playing it safe and holding it back are not going to be my contributions to Music.
Bolter & Grusin would say I'm fascinated with the medium while also denying it completely.
