The Droplift project The Droplift Project is a compilation CD of 29 (or 30) tracks created by sound collage artists in July 2000. It was manufactured by the participants and then "droplifted" into chain music stores. This process involved having operatives sneak the CD into stores and file it in regular music racks as if it were regular product. In this way a kind of "reverse shoplifting" results in the artist's work appearing next to "legitimate" products of the dominant culture. This same process is also known as "Shopdropping" in the U.K.
