Well, I’m not going to take the time to find that post, but your post quoted above was anything but “clear” if my interpretation is incorrect. The other three people who responded to you, either positively or negatively, seemed to take it the same way. I guess it’s easier to claim “straw man” than to explain what you actually meant.
I accept your apology, my esteemed colleague.
I get it now. New moon this morning. 🤣🤣🤣
Aren’t you clever? Whatever. Have a nice day.
To new beginnings
I guess you get all your backing tracks from all the backtracking you are doing on forums, dig a hole, dig it deeper.
@MrSmileZ Sorry, but I have to strongly disagree. The OP specifically mentioned Hip Hop and House culture in connection with sampling. When you (and some others in this thread) claim, that the source of a sample is not important or relevant to the reception of the music you are basically negating the complete history of sampling as an artistic (and subversive) practice.
As I have said before: please do not neglect to differentiate between sampling as appropriation of somebody elses or "real world" material (which is a cultural and artistic practise) and sampling as a mere technology.
How would people like John Oswald, Negativland and Public Enemy for example have been able to create their works with commercial sample packs? How would that have had the same impact or meaning?
Again, for anyone interested in the history of sampling, check out John Leidecker's podcast Variations from radio web MACBA. Another great source that deals with the philosophy behind sampling is DJ Spooky aka Paul Miller's book Rhythm Science.
I don't want this to come across as ranty, agressive or anything. Commercial samples do have their place in the music and entertainment industry. But especially when it comes to house and hip hop with their vast histories and roots in subculture, please do not neglegt that sampling is not just a technology but a cultural practice.
Personally I think, that I often seek a personal and emotional connection to the sounds that I am using. I am sure, that I will be treating the recording of a music box my grandmother gave to me as a child very differently from any glockenspiel from a sample pack.
Sampling as an artistic practice is about history and our personal connections to the world. As a technology it is the imitation of other musical instruments. And only in that second case it may be neglectable, whether you sample a violin sound from a record or from a sample pack.
I'm struggling over where sampling burps and farts fit into this discussion. Both can be highly creative and original, but where do they fit in culturally?
@wim that works just fine because its culturally natural all at the drop of a “wim
@Jonny8 thank you thank you. Also to add the fact records were used in early hip hop days was because music lessons were not given to the run down cities of new york. Through that neglect they were forced to use records as a medium to create within the culture. I state again that as the OP I am not saying just use vinyl but do have some respect for sampling and its history. These new Sample Pack marketing dudes might want to put what we’ve wrote on there advertised products as a thankyou before capitalising and selling the sweets in the candy store the “hip hoppie hippy dee doo” toys that make a little noise
@wim Well, we could take into account for example, that at least burping in some cultures is seen as a polite sign that the food was delicious
I am pretty sure there is a musical burping subculture somewhere on the planet.
In plain words. Anyone sampling from sample packs and claiming its hip hop. It is not hip hop at all . Done. Hip Hop is not just music its a way of life and culture like other genres which I have a lot of respect for.
Lesson1
I understand that collage artists may feel insecure about their lack of fundamental technique, but that doesn’t make it a less valid art form. Be proud of your work!
@stormbeats Quite obviously these new "samplepackers" kind of pervert the DIY beginnings of hip hop culture in a weird way. Not only that, they are probably even perverting the origins of commercial sample libraries which were probably not advertised as "instant hit creation tools". I am no expert but if I remember correctly in the nineties these sample libraries were geared more towards the imitation of acoustic instruments or electronic organ sounds and vintage synths and not out of the box musical styles. Unfortunately history and personal connections are very hard to emulate for a mass market which is why these products seem so completely empty and pointless to me.
There’s actually a documentary about that:
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr i have not at anytime said sample only from vinyl. Done
@Jonny8 exactly. 100% in agreement.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr
Sonic collage artists and technique
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr uploading what you call a real docu when its a non factual series FAME that came on tv shows how much you live in reality. You tried to prove a point referencing to me stating no music lessons in inner city new york back then. Now go press play on your vhs . Iam actually laughing. Cheers Mr try to be smarmy
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr lesson2
Are you one of those next gen bots ?
Sometimes you are coherent but a lot of the time it is just words for the sake of words.
Mostly it is just idiotic snobbery that makes you sound like a complete musical bigot.
I tend to respond to rude trolls with good-humored trolls. Consider yourself snagged, my friend.
You’re fun, bro. Where are you from?
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr on a train getting far away from you
Two albums that just couldn't have been made with sample packs.
@Jonny8 good stuff ^ check this
If you aren't a bot, you certainly aren't all there.
As we say in England - not the full biscuit. But @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr its cool as OP no intended attacks on anyone.
@stormbeats
I like that! Funny thing is that I know very little hip hop (and house)
This is one of my favourites though...they are really good.
