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 ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ข๐ค๐บ by ignoring or denying the presence of the medium..
.. or ๐ฉ๐บ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ข๐ค๐บ - a fascination with the medium itself..
.. although these two appear contradictory, they are in fact the two necessary halves of ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ"
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.
