I like to let the samples "find me" - I like to make samples by picking a CD
from my collection by mood, and listening to a song until I hear a sample
that grabs my attention.
I tend to think there's so many good sounds in music that almost every album
has enough source material for whole new albums of material. With this in
mind looking for lots of new music is a waste when you haven't exploited the
music you own.
Of course this is a lot to do with my focus on music and sound, rather than
words and meaning (possibly the rumori/snuggles difference). If I decided to
write a track with some text, I might put a bit more work into finding
samples. But then I'd probably go online - pillage news cast archives and
the like.
