other cinema: WOBBLY'S HISTORY OF SAMPLING + RiP + MUERTO ZOKE

Jon “Wobbly” Leidecker has spliced together an hour-long historical review of audio pastiche, revisiting the benchmarks of the practice over the course of the last century. His assiduous survey moves through Ives, Oliveros, Cage, Buchanan & Goodman, Pierres Henry & Schaeffer, Perrey & Kingsley, Paik, Reich, Marclay, Oswald, et al. PLUS RiP: A Remix Manifesto, the world’s first open-source documentary about copyright and Fair Use. Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of intellectual property in the Information Age, mixing up the mediascape and shattering the wall between users and producers. His doc features mash-up master and Illegal Art exponent Girl Talk, who blends samples of existing music into new songs. Engaging interviews with creators, lawmakers, and consumers are interspersed with animation, collage, and archival footage in this righteous rave-up. Come early--8PM--for the brutal plunderphonics of Muerto Zoke. $7.77*.
