Tue, 9 Oct 2001 found illegal art writing:

this is a good idea and a good topic. here's some more
buzzwords. i dislike or consider innacurate most of them,
but that's how most genre tags are. anyway:
sample-based composition
plagiarism
plagiarhythm
audio piracy
recycled culture
recycled sound
trash art
appropriation
musique concrete
detournement
assemblage
found sound
culture jamming
media manipulation
poaching
recontextualisation
electroquotation
bricollage
cut and paste
copyright infringement
borrowing
intertextuality
copy culture
montage
(i guess some of these havent been used too often to
describe music but may have been applied more to other
forms like film and visual arts.)
by the way, here's a little essay i wrote which appeared in
the program of the Sound Unseen festival that just took
place in Minneapolis ( soundunseen.com ) last week:
http://detritus.net/steev/texts/plunderphonics-soundunseen.html
it addresses some of the concerns I have about labelling
this sort of art practice.
