Some Word Excersises: Music

The necessity to make the inspiration of the privileged world communicate to the real world.

Quite a mouthful for a word, but I hesitate to trim it down as I described earlier. Rather I'm fairly certain it will be through trying to articulate this bugger that I will eventually create my presentation. "The idea becomes a machine that makes the art." Or so Sol Lewitt said, and he's pretty smart, so here we go.

1. My first attempt to convey what I'm getting at coincides with a musician called Kutiman who I wrote quite a bit about. His videos basically take many many different samples and create a unified musical piece based off a collective effort.



I love this stuff, as you can probably tell from my personal blog post. I wanted to try to re-create it, but have yet to find a good way to snatch the Youtube clips off the internet to import into video editing software. Any ideas?

In the meantime:
The necessity to make the inspiration of the privileged world communicate to the real world.

Open them all at once and you might get an idea of what I'm after. Be sure to watch the dancing one and the Charlie Chapman clip, they're the best.
