MIXTAPE SCHOLARSHIP

The genre practice of ‘mixtape scholarship’ is a form of sonic argumentation and experience that leverages the affordances of music, voice recordings, and sonic ephemera to build theory and create listening journeys. Grounded in remix, sampling and repurposing, mixtape scholarship takes advantage of sonic processes and technologies to create curated sonic interventions, provocations and statements privileging music sequencing as the scaffolding for theory building.
