SEATTLE PREMIERE OF FILM ABOUT OLD SKOOL HIP HOP AND SAMPLING OCT 10
As new technologies emerge (almost everyday), enabling everyone to be a music producer, can anyone really own a sound? Computers, software and even cell phones have radically altered our relationship to mass culture and technology, providing consumers with the tools to become producers, or “remixers,” of their own media. But long before everyday people began posting their video mash-ups on the Web, hip-hop musicians perfected the art of audio montage through a sport they called “sampling.” COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS, a documentary by Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod, examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the ongoing debates about artistic expression, copyright law and (of course) money.
The screening at SIFF Cinema is open to the public and there is no charge to attend. The film will be introduced by KUBE 93 FM DJ Hyphen who will take a few questions. Then following the film, we’ll discuss possible ways in which ownership of a sound can be determined. The event is open to the public and all are welcome.
