This time I’m trying something totally new to me
I like playing along with music I like
As a kid sampling music was a crime
the prevailing thought was samples longer than 1 second had to be paid for
DJs would take a lot of different songs, the art is in the choice in songs, reading the crowd, the transitions between
Then that in-between part became more the focus
Then overtly layering known parts of huge songs in new and interesting ways became the art.
What’s next? Steal the stolen, recycle it now. Take an existing song and add a new track to it. Add harmonies, missing instruments, more layers, new takes, play off one instrument in the existing.
