Hi,

I'm joining up here as part of a team of researchers looking at the implications of the YouTube 'remix' for classical music, including contemporary composition.

Not sure what this is? Well, imagine Beethoven with a techno beat set to scenes from Titanic. Obvioulsy this sort of thing is not everyone's cup of tea but it appears to be an emerging genre and it has even happened to the music of some young modern composers.

We're interested in who is doing it, what sort of implications there are in terms of ethics and copyright, and what sort of trends might emerge from it.

We’d appreciate it if members of this forum would take the time to answer some questions about this on our online survey.
Please go to: http://www.unisa.edu.au/management/research/CITandClassicalMusic.asp
There are a range of conditions to the survey at: http://www.unisa.edu.au/management/research/QuestionnaireTerms.asp
You need to read and understand these terms before completing the survey.

We’ll be drawing together the results and publishing something at the end of the year or early next year.

Thankyou,
Stephen McKenzie.
