Creating new music, one YouTube snippet at a time

Kutiman is an Israeli musician and producer who recently tackled a unique musical project. He created several original songs by mashing up parts of YouTube videos of others making music. The result is an ambient, soulful collection of intriguing material that is very 21st Century - in what other age could an artist have brought together so many diverse musicians from all around the world via the Web and created something so cohesive from them? Fascinating.
