Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of remix described by Eduardo Navas on his Remix webpage:

• A music remix that is a reinterpretation of a pre-existing song, meaning that the “aura” of the original will be dominant in the remixed version.

• A remix that is made from a historically inherited scale of repeating notes, or combined from a mixture of color and light that is exposed to a chemical compound on tape, or a clever organisation of computational bits that can generate images.

• A remix that is selective; it consists of adding or subtracting material from the original song.

• A remix that is reflexive; it allegorizes and extends the aesthetic of sampling, where the remixed version challenges the aura of the original and claims autonomy even when it carries the name of the original; material is added or deleted, but the original tracks are largely left intact to be recognizable.
