Remixing Ringtones: A Sound Writing Workshop

Fac 9

The DWRL is bringing DJ Spooky to UT. Remixing is all the rage. But how do you incorporate remixing into the classroom? Come to this workshop to find out. We'll show you how to remix samples of literary and rhetorical texts to your favorite music. Then, we’ll cut those mixes down to ringtones. We’ll demo remixing ringtones lesson plans for your classes. And we’ll kick off a special contest wherein the best student-made ringtone wins a prize. (The winner will be announced at DJ Spooky's rip-mix-burn event on Oct. 12.) You are also a great candidate for this workshop if you:

* need a fun lesson plan to get over the mid-semester slump
* have a pal who is just too peculiar for a default ringtone
* are afraid to make remixes that are longer than 30 seconds
* like to combine things ill-advisedly
* like silly contests
