He created music from other artists work but did so in a way that only accentuated the gifts that made these songs so popular in the first place. He got his butt sued off by a number of record labels and essentially went into hiding with the aid of Negativland and their record label Seeland. What makes this so interesting is that he is doing something that, essentially, celebrates the music the artists made in the first place. He makes no attempt to disguise his sources, but the end product is so artistic and meaningful, not to mention often humorous, that it's hard to believe a band would get upset about it. Maybe they didn't, but their labels sure did. This could put an interesting spin on your work. 30280@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Nov 2003 17:18:38 EST
