I realized something fairly profound halfwat through this year and applied the thinking to my own viewpoint of loop sampling. I don't mean getting a sound, when I say sampling I mean taking a chunk and looping and editing.
I decided that I would think of music (whether house hip hop or whatever) that samples loops as a "Remix". I applied this thinking to KDJ all the way through Jeru and I'm happy with thet. That way the artist doesn't get credit for the invention but is seen as re-applying. I kind of like this viewpoint because it answers a lot of the tricky issues around sampled music. So...to apply that for example, I see most of Sneaks tracks as "Disco remixes", and in an ideal world, he'd title his songs as the original + "remix". I'ma huge Sneak fan, but he's a better "remixer" than a composer. Whereas Larry Heard especialy lately, composes. Someone like Kenny Dixon does both. Just a rant but an interestiung approach I thought anyways. - Giles D I G I T A S // B O S T O N -- Giles Dickerson Art Director 800 Boylston Street Boston, MA 02199 -- mobile 617 899 9635 office 617 369 8601 > ---------- > From: robin pinning > Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, March 1, 2002 1:52 PM > To: Giles Dickerson > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [313] Marketinbg techno + house to the masses > > > >> Yes and No. The Chemical brothers and Fatboy Slim tend to choose a > >single or a couple very catchy vocal edits and repeat them over and over. > >We know they're samples but I think the general audience probably thinks > >it might be the artist or a singer. > > yeah fair point, that had occured to me when i compiled me last response, > and actually the above is reinforced by the fact the FBS uses a fat guy in > all the marketing shots (someone has nowt to do with the music...actually > some might argue FBS has little to do with the music as all he does is rip > off (sample) other peoples stuff...but that's a whole other argument and > is perhaps a little below the belt :) ) > > > "Smack My Bitch Up".
