Hey Philo,
I happen to be an instrument-musician oriented person (see:
wanderjahrmusic.com) The funny thing is, both myslef and many other
musicians are beginning to incorporate samples into live and recorded
instrumental music. I perosnally tend to shy away from sampling sounds
from my record collection, and concentrate on recording sounds from real
life and using those sounds (fire, tree frogs, phone calls, etc.)
I agree with you that the compositions you guys and girls are making
deserve respect for complexity and artistic vision and execution.
Sam

well, i don't want to tell people how they should feel... but i see a
danger in that if even the people making sample-based music feel
guilty, how are we ever going to change the perception of the average
person that this kind of music is ok..... and not only ok, but really
not so different from every other type of music made. isn't all
music 99% derived from pre-exisiting music?
john, the average rock/pop band's latest release is essentially
"samples" from their record collection...... even if they pick up
their instruments to play those "samples". i would argue that most
of the music people on this list make is more creative use of their
record collection than those who play instruments. and as you
indicated, it can take years of work.
