about

"Make overtly rhythmic music from short loops of overtly arrhythmic source audio" - I pieced together vocal fragments from a synthesized voice talking about photographic copyright, and Michelle Bachmann, and then looping them in places to make them more rhythmic. A backing track of a street musician playing part of the Godfather theme gets a similar treatment towards the end.

lyrics

Photography did not always enjoy
the protections of copyright.
The argument went that manipulating a machine --
in this case a camera --
did not count as a creative act.
Eventually, whether making a photograph
rose to the level of authorship was settled by the courts...
Photographers were authors of their creations and thus owners of their creations, and thus owned the copyright.

Its not true, its not happening - manipulating a machine
Manipulating a machine - its not true, its not true
Its not true:
True Machine.
