Everything is a Remix

Remix-edit published work

anybody can remix anything, just takes techniques

the metaphor of a light bulb is always used when someone has an insight

3 basic elements of creativity: Domain Knowledge, Copying, Transformation

Stars Wars- almost like a updated version of another movie

(some of the movie angles are similar to other movies)

Original ideas are considered PROPERTY
(it really isn't)

If, you copy someones ideas, it is considered stolen property

If someone steals an idea, the person who stole it can improve on the original creators idea

Most remixes are a higher value than the orginal content

taking something that exist is basically making something into a product

Music as Literature

In my opinion, i would say music is literature. Lets say for an example someone is listening to a catchy song, and singing along with the lyrics. Sometimes we don't understand what were saying because it's just a bunch of words. But behind those words tell a story, if we were to listen carefully at a song, the listener would understand what the vocalist is saying. It doesn't matter what genre of music is being played, each song telling a story. Just like a novel, a novel tells a story, place and time. By how the author is using his or her words it gives the mood and tone of the story they are telling. Same thing with a symphony, for example; in Hans Zimmers song called S.T.A.Y that song is telling the relationship of a father and her daughter. (The song is from the movie Interstellar) I strongly believe music is literature.

The Love of Music

Recently I saw a video of these two strangers in an airport. One of them is playing piano by himself, and a lot of spectators watch him play. Soon after that, a complete stranger walks up and watches the man play piano. As he watches him play, the man watching chimes in to play as well. This is called improvisation. Where a spectator watches a man or woman play piano, and chimes in to play with the entertainer. It's completly normal for a person to play along side a piano player.

The Generation of the Piccards

The Piccards are well known explorers who achieved great things into figuring out earths mysteries and limits. Auguste Piccard was the first man the reach the stratosphere,  having record breaking hot air-balloons flights, and he invested his time of Earth's upper atmosphere and cosmic rays. Quite an amazing background from him. I would think his off spring wouldn't top this, but i thought wrong....

His son Jacques Piccard became the first man to reach the ocean's deepest point. Spectacular! The video below is an advertisement for Hennessy about having a "wild rabbit" and the commercial shows a great example of both Father and son having a wild rabbit.

The Mind

I came across a video, so i can have the motivation to study for my finals. And when i viewed this video, it really inspired me in many levels. The quote that sticked to me was when the narrator said "if you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start". I really encourage people to watch this video, a learn from it, https://youtu.be/z1PSbDmV8Gw

Something Intresting Yesterday

This was suppose to be done yesterday, but i didn't have anything intresting yesterday (so i thought). But as i over viewed my day yesterday, i finally thought of something intresting i did yesterday:  i learned a new magic trick. It was a frustrating time, but i finally got it down, and succeded on my first try. Which is a good thing because here and there i mess up on the first time i preform a trick. I just gotta practice more. Practice makes perfect.

Immigrants in Our Own Land

The theme in the story in my opinion would be faith/hope. When Jimmy was in prison, he had to endured and all the things he experienced through out his life in jail. He thought this was him all time low.

Tone- Sad

Mood-  impassive

Devices - flashbacks, realization, conviction
