I’m not sure why my google alert just turned this up yesterday – maybe Wired is reposting material? – but I was happy to see it pop up again and I thought I’d post a pointer.
This is an article I wrote for Wired Magazine, published in February 1995, on plunderphonics artist John Oswald.
The Man Who Stole Michael Jackson’s Face
Subhed: John Oswald creates new works from existing sonic materials. His Plunderphonic got him in trouble with the copyright police. (It also got him gigs with the Kronos Quartet and the Grateful Dead.)
