As a musician, I couldn’t resist the temptation of kicking things off with a music post. Fellow Pittsburgher Greg Gillis has been pushing the fair use music envelope since his 2006 release Night Ripper. Like other new media artists, he goes beyond using just electronically created sounds, opting instead to use previously recorded music as the “notes” in his composition.
Without fair use, folks at the Future of Music speculate that it would be prohibitive both financially and time-wise to negotiate samples for all of the 600 tracks cited on his Feed the Animals release.
