Re-Mixing the Masters
David Byrne and Brian Eno are reissuing their classic 1981 collaboration "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" with a twist. The musicians are inviting fans to edit, remix & sample two tracks from the album. We’ll look at that experiment and talk with a forensic musicologist on the legal ramifications of sampling. Also: DJ and percussionist Karsh Kale shares his new album, "Broken English," which blends South Indian music with electronica and hip-hop. And composer/soprano Joan LaBarbara shares music inspired by Virginia Wolff.
