Zakiah Williams August 12, 2009 Internet Technologies R.I.P Manifesto This is an interesting artic. This article was a bout a movie. It was made by a web film maker, named Brett Gaylor. He is also a activist. The movie by a musician. A lot of the musician’s music is sample based. Probably, in the last twenty years people have been remixing songs and sampling songs from past music. Some people would say it is a little unoriginal. People feel that music should be original and authentic. The music should be from the heart and from your own experiences. I feel like when people sample or remix song, they are giving praise to the artist before them. Sampling some one songs, are like a tribute them. some times people have a connection to the song, and they want to put there own twist to it. This is to make the music there own. The author is also a video blogger, he works with the youth also. I think his motives are to inform and educate his young viewers and readers, on current events. That is where the activist comes out. It is important for people to use there platform to inform people. This film was said to be an experiment to see what people’s reaction will be. I the film is called R.I.P., because the sampling are dying down. People are making a new sound to music. That was in the past, and music like it is in the past also. This is a new time in society and in the world and things are changing . As a result those things are changing. We need people to document and make note these things, like the filmmaker did.
