Join Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor as he explores the issues of copyright and content creation in the information age. Using mash-up artist Girl Talk as its central protagonist RiP! A Remix Manifesto draws the lines of battle in the war of ideas.
At a time when file-sharing, remixing and open-source have become the new buzz words, Gaylor and Girl Talk help untangle the complex issues of copyright and present an alternative approach towards ownership and intellectual property.
A participatory media experiment from day one, Gaylor shares his raw footage at opensourcecinema.org for anyone to remix. This movie-as-mash-up method allows these remixes to become an integral part of the film.
Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig, Brazil’s former Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also featured in the film. And if you pay attention, you might also spot a few surprise guest appearances…

The original is a total heady Saturday night tune very much in the vein of Human League while the James Curd remix gives has a bit more of a hop and skip electro vibe (whatever that means). Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem seems to have joined The Juan Maclean for this round too. This is the lead track from forthcoming album The Future Will Come on DFA. I’ve been told to look out for the Emperor Machine remix of the same tune.

Music Go Music is a LA based group signed to Secretly Canadian Records that sound like they are trapped in the late 70s, in every good way possible. They channel the likes of ABBA, ELO, Olivia Newton John, Giorgio Moroder, Sparks and other elements of disco and Italo (all music I am loving right now). It is amazing how they nailed the production/songwriting style. They take the best elements of this stylized and dated era of music and inject it with a new energy. This epic/power pop sound is what music needs right now.
“Warm in The Shadows” has a slinky/badass Italo vibe with a very ABBA-esque/Donna Summers’ whispery vocal sound. Reminds me of Italians Do It Better’s Chromatics.
