@todshelton He did this with tape. It may be easy now to just fuck stuff up with digital recording interfaces, but there was a time when doing stuff like this took a lot of patience, time and knowledge.
You have to think of this in the context of when it was made, not in the context of 2012. If you are still having difficulty understanding John Oswald, then you might want to read his...Plunderphonics Manifesto.
I don't think I understand John Oswald. I've read his section in arcana and I listen to tons of experimental/avantgarde/someotherpretentiousnameforgoodmusic you know Zorn... merzbow... maybe I just don't understand his musical philosophy... or if it even is a musical one. This just sounds to me like a kid got a hold of garage band and fucked around with a piece of music that has already been made. I'm not trying to bash him. Maybe I just don't see what zorn saw before he included Oswald inarcana
@eme3891 just about him? Are you taking a side on anything? Or is it just what most essays about him would be about whether his music is stealing or original composition?

@todshelton if you read an article called plunderphonics Chris Cutler gives quite an interesting critique on it.
