blogumentary on Amen break
Can I Get An Amen? is an audio installation that unfolds a critical perspective of perhaps the most sampled drums beat in the history of recorded music, the Amen Break.
This makes me think about the criteria for what makes a sample source legal, and about the place of creative commons in all this.
The promo blurb that I quoted above calls it an audio installation, but my experience was that it was basically a mini-documentary in the form of a videoblog.

That was cool. I thought it was really well done.
I had to go back once because it didn't load up fully the first time. When I went back I found my place by seeing where the needle was on the record. : )
Lucas! ... what a great we have here...
Yes, a mini doc in vlog format.
Shall we do one based on funky drummer?
.. I am a bit afraid of JB though...
well, i think this is just a video capture of the actual installation, in which you're supposed to wander around. The "art" part is putting it on vinyl.
