Review of The Creative RemixThis is one of those perfect public radio programs that succeeds on different levels. First, of course, is the important concept of keeping creativity and art out of the hands of the lawyers. But while listening, I also started thinking about how the idea of the "remix" could be applied to just about anything, including one of my favorite topics (cooking) and one of my least favorite (politics). To me, this is one of the hallmarks of a great "concept" show - you can envision it extended it beyond the boundries it's placed on itself (58 minutes). It will air on WNPR's Essential Radio on 12/12/04 at 4:00 p.m. |

Review of The Creative RemixThis is a really nice, sound-rich approach to a subject that usually gets handled by the lawyers. Walker shows that "remixing" is not just a 21st century phenomenon with intriguing examples, great commentators/experts, and some witty production elements. We need more of this kind of thoughtful arts analysis on the radio. |
The programs suggested air date is the Weekend of October 34/24

Review of The Creative Remix
I could keep going with the adjectives. Like, smart: this piece actually offers a new take on the world. Many things will strike you a little differently once you've heard it. And the decision to avoid lawyers may be the smartest part, since that't the one and only thing that, say, ATC would focus on if they did this story. This is a great piece about art in the present moment!
