<br><b>VARIATIONS #3. The Approach<br>
<br>Summary<br></b>As the sixties came
to a close, the progressive optimism of World music collages were met
and tempered by a new strain of self-examination and critique. Composers
shifted away from using obscure, generic, or safely public domain
sources for their pieces, and began to work with instantly recognizable
samples from commercial pop music on a much wider scale. As the focus
turned from global to cultural, Utopian visions gave way to a pragmatic
sense of musical research and development. This episode documents the
collages of the seventies that began demolishing the distinctions
between art and popular music, from concrète to dub to disco to the
attention-deficit-disordering world of FM radio.<br>
