Remixing Authorship: Reconfiguring the Author in Online Video Remix Culture

In an abstract sense, authorship entails the constrained selection or generation of media and the organization and layout of that media in a larger structure. But authorship is more than just selection and organization; it is a complex construct incorporating concepts of originality, authority, intertextuality, and attribution. In this paper we explore these concepts as they relate to authorshi...

Deep Remix: Remixing Musical Mixtures Using a Convolutional Deep Neural Network

Audio source separation is a difficult machine learning problem and performance is measured by comparing extracted signals with the component source signals. However, if separation is motivated by the ultimate goal of re-mixing then complete separation is not necessary and hence separation difficulty and separation quality are dependent on the nature of the re-mix. Here, we use a convolutional ...

The Remixing Dilemma: The Trade-off Between

In this paper we argue that there is a trade-off between generativity and originality in online communities that support open collaboration. We build on foundational theoretical work in peer production to formulate and test a series of hypotheses suggesting that the generativity of creative works is associated with moderate complexity, prominent authors, and cumulativeness. We also formulate an...

Random Access Remixing on the iPad

Remixing audio samples is a common technique for the creation of electronic music, and there are a wide variety of tools available to edit, process, and recombine pre-recorded audio into new compositions. However, all of these tools conceive of the timeline of the pre-recorded audio and the playback timeline as identical. In this paper, we introduce a dual time axis representation in which thes...
