ReasonBanks Live Remix Tool for Propellerhead Reason With my Hugarian buddies, Tamas and Andras, I went to the Heineken Experience museum to show them the production I did for Heineken. A live REMIX tool, for which I composed 4 tracks. At the right you can see a bit of the VJ-set for switching between live synced video and adding still images on the large screen.

Components:
Essay = 1200-1500 words
Presentation = 20-30 min. exploration of your programming example
WHAT MIGHT REMIXED PROGRAMMING OR ARTS PARTICIPATION LOOK/SOUND/FEEL LIKE? AND WHAT PLACE MIGHT AESTHETICS HAVE IN SUCH REMIXING?
Your group should address the above question in the essay, taking the perspective of arts and culture workers pursuing creative and recombinant arts programming practices. In order to focus your discussion, draw on a specific example of an art form, event, or experience to remix; you may choose from examples already posted to our course Diigo group, discussed in class, or that someone in the group has familiarity/experience with. Given the brevity of this assignment, your essay should clearly:
A. describe the subject of your remix as it exists now; be brief, as this is primarily background information.
B. articulate the elements that will go into your remix, from the original/extant programming as well as other sources/influences/material you imagine including. This segment is about the “stuff” you’ll remix.
C. discuss the process for remixing you propose from an arts/culture worker point of view, paying particular attention to how programming transforms through your remix. This segment is about the “structure” of your remix.
D. pose questions about or suggestions exploring the ways in which aesthetics figure into your remixed arts programming. Be sure to fold in elements of class discussions (live or via comments, resources, etc), and keep in mind that this section of your essay can be somewhat exploratory and reflective.
Do draw on writings and other resources that we have examined in class in order to contextualize and illustrate your comments. There is no set number of sources you should reference, and since this is an essay it should demonstrate a logical argument toward a goal that represents your group’s collective thinking; it needn’t be laden with outside citations, but should address relevant ones as needed.
