I recently ran across Doctor Paradox<\/a> (a.k.a. Barb<\/a>). She creates very funky, fun, and creative sample-loop-based music using Ableton Live and other tools for the Mac.<\/p>\n

I recently spoke with her about CC licensing, found art<\/i> in remixes, and music in general. Apparently I caught her in the middle of reading Larry Lessig’s The Future of Ideas<\/a>, so she had a lot of good things say on the matter, not the least of which is the idea that: “all art is found art<\/i> to some degree. Ideas have origins and everything is fundamentally connected.”<\/p>\n

She sees CC licensing as a part of the re-connecting of art to what it is meant to be, an organic part of everyday lifestyle: “Even as recently as a few decades ago, music was still something people did in their homes to entertain themselves, their families, and friends. Now in the midst of a radical technological revolution, we are starting to have access to the tools we need to craft music in our own vision, according to our own philosophies.”<\/p>\n

“For me, the dream and vision of Creative Commons is that by making an enormous amount of high-quality art available to society, our culture’s demand for, and appreciation of art itself is bound to increase.”<\/p>\n

Well, we appreciate her artistic contribution — that’s for sure. Her entire album “Frame Independent<\/a>” is licensed under an Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike<\/a> license. Give it a spin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
