The digital era has helped to usher in a number of musical styles. On the one hand, these are simply extensions or already-existing practices (practices that we have been studying throughout this module). On the other hand, digital technology allows for a uniqueness and creates a space for new types of creativity. These include mashups, remixes and collages of ‘found material’ used to create new artworks. This lecture surveys these new digital phenomena. We will also consider again the nature of authorship and ownership, creativity, the status of the ‘work’, and the inherent differences between traditional models of quotation, and contemporary practices of sampling. Finally, the concept of copyright will be examined in light of the above.<\/p>\n
