Abstract

There were many ideas that contributed to the birth of cc real mixter. At the first place it was just a simple talk about 'let's do something fun together with creative commons'. Kim Chang-jun, one of the cc volunteers, suggested making music through participation of people. This simple idea was supported by a few cc volunteers and it evolved into a mixture of many brilliant ideas like using cc mixter's sounds as sources, bringing in people's participation with interactive installation which can be a brand new musical instrument.

The preparation of the performance was done by many helps with volunteers who have various background like a media artist, designer, engineer, student, dj, vj etc crossing over art and science. It was an totally interdisciplinary collaboration and most of the tools used for the performance were open software or hardware which can be used freely. The whole synthetic creation through interaction was remixed again by vj and dj and with this enthusiastic ambience. People who could play their instruments joined the performance improvisationally.

The pursuit of this performance is an experiment that anyone who is interested in this kind of culture can be being a creator himself and active cultural consumer simultaneously. Simply put, with the inspiration of creative commons we can create something fun and enjoy it together. We don't have deep awakening of all these but we'd like just act with the belief about creativity, commons and culture. Hope to share this experience.
