Widespread distribution of recorded music via digital networks
affects more than just business models and marketing strategies; it
also alters the way we understand recordings, scenes and histories
of popular music culture. This Is Not a Remix uncovers the analog
roots of digital practices and brings the long history of copies
and piracy into contact with contemporary controversies about the
reproduction, use and circulation of recordings on the internet.
Borschke examines the innovations that have sprung from the use of
recording formats in grassroots music scenes, from the vinyl, tape
and acetate that early disco DJs used to create remixes to the mp3
blogs and vinyl revivalists of the 21st century. This is Not A
Remix challenges claims that 'remix culture' is a substantially new
set of innovations and highlights the continuities and
contradictions of the Internet era. Through an historical focus on
copy as a property and practice, This Is Not a Remix focuses on
questions about the materiality of media, its use and the aesthetic
dimensions of reproduction and circulation in digital networks.
Through a close look at sometimes illicit forms of
composition-including remixes, edits, mashup, bootlegs and
playlists-Borschke ponders how and why ideals of authenticity
persist in networked cultures where copies and copying are
ubiquitous and seemingly at odds with romantic constructions of
authorship. By teasing out unspoken assumptions about media and
culture, this book offers fresh perspectives on the cultural
politics of intellectual property in the digital era and poses
questions about the promises, possibilities and challenges of
network visibility and mobility.
