“My challenge to myself is to always try to create new world, new scenarios at almost every moment of though. The transaction I speak of take me outside of the normal cash flow of role playing because it’s multiple. Into the picture, into the frame—that’s the name of the game.” (pg. 109) I liked this quote because I think it summed up everything I believe about blending music. “try to create new world” meaning that it is new and not copying. I find this important because of simply what we have been discussing and reading about. When there is a distinct difference between something new and original and simply stealing something from an artist and calling it your work—I am not sure it is as simple to define what that difference is. I was trying to think of that myself and all I could come up with is I don’t have the skills to articulate what makes something original. What I got out of it was I think “good” new music is original and “crap” is crap and it’s not even the new creators. That’s not much of a definition but there you go. “The path to knowledge doesn’t really have an end, you just realize that the road keeps going and, everything—information, the social networks that provide structure and sustain your inquiry into whatever you’re investigating—well, each is just a stop along the way.” (pg.118). I liked that the part that stated “the road keeps going” that the idea of creating and blending will be blurred with something new again because it will continue—like the road. We should just sit and enjoy the ride and see what new awesome creations are out there for us.

I picked 5 minutes by Feat. I enjoyed how it was different by speeding up the beat and adding a back beat. It sounds so “hip-hoppy” with the silent parts and bringing it back up. It is called a remix and I think it sounds amazing with cutting and then bringing the tempo back up to fast.
