Few of us doubt that stealing is wrong, especially from the poor. But the accusation of ‘cultural appropriation’ is overwhelmingly being used as an objection to syncretism – the mixing of different thoughts, religions, cultures, and ethnicities that often ends up creating entirely new ones.
I was mixing iced tea and lemonade in my kitchen since as long as I can remember. It wasn’t until some time in the early 1960s that it became associated with me publicly.
Nowadays, with much more racial and ethnic mixing, we are seeing serial killers murdering a variety of victims; whoever comes along will most likely do.
I wanted to do a project that was seamless and had all the ingredients from start to finish, from conception to mixing and mastering.
Most electronic equipment uses the principle of amplification. You need filters, modulators and mixing equipment which have gain stages. By piling these components up, I was able to work without any sound generators and I made several pieces in that manner.
Mixing in some rusty oranges is a warm way to update your place for fall.
If you listen to Too Short over the years, that’s me – I’m not hitting every key or every drum or singing every track – but that’s me telling everybody what to do. I like to work with creative people. But when it all comes back, and we’re mixing down Too Short songs, I’m right there.
I absolutely love to relax and have fun. I like socializing; I like chatting. I like dancing, mixing with friends.
I had tried painting, mostly to give myself a greater appreciation of the craft and to inform how I looked at paintings. That led to collaging some of the work I had done on paper, and I found myself mixing in found pieces as well.
With clothes, I like mixing what different designers do until it becomes a personal expression of how I’m feeling that day.
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now – no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
If I’d lived in Bristol, I’d probably be doing building site stuff, plastering. Probably not the plastering. It would have been mixing. I could always get work from friends who did construction. But I wasn’t into getting up at seven in the morning.
When I was 16, I started to spend a lot of time in Soho and downtown New York and noticed everyone’s style and the eclectic things people would wear. And that’s when I started to experiment with things like my lipstick and mixing different kinds of pieces and, of course, my hair color.
The actual producing, mixing, and mastering is hard work, harder than what I do.
I think my heritage makes me very open to try things, taking on different flavours, mixing it all up. I find that exciting.
I love mixing horror with comedy.
I love mixing with comedians when I’m working with them, but when I’m not I don’t feel the need to hang around with them.
Congress started mixing politics with religion. BJP perfected it.
From tours to mixing, mastering, graphics, artwork – I’ve done out of pocket.
When I was coming up, I was, and am, producing, mixing, mastering, and writing everything. I would say that all the time. For one, self-sufficiency is a message that should be put out there: you don’t have to outsource everything. Two, I’m proud of it.
When you set a play in the French Quarter in New Orleans, it’s hard not to acknowledge the whole African-American, French, white mixing of races. That’s what the French Quarter is: it’s a Creole community.
I like mixing things up. That makes it more interesting. I love mixing in slower funk with what I do. I’ll add drum and bass and put my foot to the gas pedal and press it to the floor.
It’s always my mission to try to do something that hasn’t been done before, whether that’s musically, lyrically or in terms of mixing.
Age-old therapies that Indian households have followed for centuries, like drinking kasha’s, mixing turmeric with pepper and honey, planting tulsi for purification and the use of aromatherapy to boost immunity have now become new age therapies.
Are your people uncomfortable during meetings and tired at the end? If not, they’re probably not mixing it up enough and getting to the bottom of important issues.
Hosting ‘SNL’ was something I’d always wanted to do. The show allowed me to play to my strengths – mixing music with comedy seemed like a way into that world.
Paul has more, I think, of a feel for the stage. Whereas I have it more for the notes themselves. I love record making and mixing, arranging, producing. That I love. I love to make beautiful things, but I don’t like to perform.
I liked how ‘Star Wars’ felt both old and new. I even built a model of R2-D2, taking about two months mixing two kits to make one that looked just like the real thing. I’m the kind of person who gets really into it when I do something like that.
I don’t think people experiment enough with clothing because society tries to tell them what they can and can’t wear. I love playing around with different aesthetics and/or mixing around aesthetics to create a totally new look.
My mother was my first and most important influence. When I was a little girl, she would take me shopping for pigments that flattered dark skin tones, mixing and playing until she’d created her ideal shade.
I like big shows, a lot of volume and a lot of energy. I love electric instruments. But I do love mixing those with bluegrass instruments and cranking those up, too, with a little bit of that rock energy.
I love mixing amateurs and professionals.
My dad studies and practices homeopathy and Ayurveda medicine. He’s a strong believer in both honey and milk as forms of healing. Honey is the one food that does not die. It does not expire. Growing up, he’d always be mixing up almonds or turmeric or gram flower with milk to cure a cough or a cold.
I am not one to adhere to silly clothing rules. I love mixing metals, wearing a brown bag with black shoes, whatever.
At home I have a mixing desk that I like playing around on. It’s great fun making music myself. And music has always been a very good counterbalance to football for me. It allows me to switch off and relax.
I try to listen to a lot of music when I’m in the mixing process of a record, when I’m in post-production and trying to get everything to sound a certain way.
Notebooks allow for all kinds of record-keeping, and I kept one myself as a kid. I was attracted to mixing up words and pictures freely, since that’s how I think.
The biggest obstacle was mixing abortion with overpopulation. These are two things that have nothing to do with each other.
I’m a serious student of music, a perfectionist in the studio, and I take the arrangement and production of it very seriously, down to the mixing and mastering even. But at the same time I’m having so much fun with it. I try not to take myself so seriously.
I really respect certain brands, mixing and matching and having your own look regardless. Having a bold look.
When you do cross-breeding of plants, you’re doing this blind experiment where you’re just mixing DNA of different types of cells and just seeing what comes out of it.
The type of mixing that was out then was blending from one record to the next or waiting for the record to go off and wait for the jock to put the needle back on.
I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I’m attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn’t quite what I’m seeing – taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I’ve never seen before.
I am a fairly mongrelized person – you know I’ve been a migrant my whole life, and it’s hard to think of myself as any pure one thing. And so I take it, I guess, very personally – this notion that migrants are bad and that mixing is bad and that people from other places are bad.
What could be a better recipe than mixing fashion and food?
I love mixing house and disco with anything bass.
A mother should give her children a superabundance of enthusiasm; that after they have lost all they are sure to lose on mixing with the world, enough may still remain to prompt fated support them through great actions.
‘Defenders’ seems to have a really gritty, hard, uncomplicated vibe about it. Somehow, we made everything sound stronger and more precise than on ‘Screaming Vengeance’ through Tom Allom’s amazing mixing skills.
I like mixing things. I wear a lot of boots. Love boots. And then jeans, but I like to wear them with a really ruffly top. Or I love high-waisted anything.
But the idea of taking things and mixing them together is what I do in my music. I take hip-hop, R&B, pop, dance, funk and soul and mix it all together to get my own sound.
More than 90% of Chinese believe themselves to be Han. Of course, such a vast population is derived from countless different races, but because China has enjoyed such a long and continuous history as a polity, there has been thousands of years of mixing, melding and assimilation.
Studying neuro-linguistic programming is what teaches you how to implant and extract thoughts. Mixing psychology, hypnotism and magic somewhat goes into this area called mentalism, which is what I mostly do. It’s magic of the mind.
I don’t want to promote my own image either. I don’t like going on television or mixing in literary circles.
