Squarepusher interview
BBC Collective have interviewed Squarepusher AKA Tom Jenkinson here.
Best interview with a recording composer i’ve read in some time. At least partially relevant to OB readers on 2 counts.
1. Questions were sought from the community at BBC Collective > much higher quality and diversity than tends to result from a single journo… an ‘open-interview’!
2. Lucid and revealing exposition on the artistic / creative processes in terms of composing and recording music. Every bit as potent as Paul D Miller (AKA DJ Spooky – That Subliminal Kid) in Rhythm Science. We need to understand – or at least consider – these processes because they inform the possibilities for business models that can be realised in the light of developing technologies.

As questões colocadas pelos leitores são bastante pertinentes e Jenkinson consegue elucidar-nos sobre a sua visão a respeito de questões como a originalidade e o plágio. It seems that getting annoyed about the borrowing of ideas relates to notions of power and influence in the musical sphere. Who would care if somebody completely insignificant borrowed an idea? If, on the other hand, it is borrowed by somebody with much more commercial appeal it could be potentially irritating as credit will inevitably be given to them and not the innovator. In this sense, the problem could be seen as preventing well-intentioned individuals from getting their deserved reward (ie, money, reputation) for their labours. On this view it seems difficult to defend plagiarism. [...]
