with the regurtitation aspect, i feel Im not being clear again (sorry bout this). when i refer to regurgitation I refer to a painter in 2009 painting just like caravaggio (nothing new, same technique, same subject matter) and claiming artist, is out of their mind.
as with music, playing mozart and claiming artist is crazy too. sure the craft is amazing but the idea is old and stale. the latest movement in music that I feel is really pushing musical ideas and creating art is the hiphop DJ, using old music(craft) and musical theory (technique) and making brand new sound through new ideas (e.g holding down a record and pulling it back to make a noise, a noise previsouly considerd as awful has turned into something quite powerful)
So by your definition, hip hop DJs are just doing audio regurgitation. I first heard (or at least remember hearing) record scratching in 1986, Run DMC doing Walk this Way. So therefore anyone doing it 23 years later must be regurgitating, right? They are just imitating someone else's idea that was done before they were born (a lot of them anyway). Nothing real "progressive" about it now.
And, while I admire the skill involved in the craft, in my opinion, they are not artist because they are using someone else's music. But that is just my opinion and like all opinions, it is neither right or wrong.
