Members Hard Truth Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Who are your favorite artists that primarily work with samples? Turntablists can be included, but if their main schtick is scratching, then they wouldn't count. (that is more of a percussive art rather than a sound design art) Some of mine are Amon Tobin, Tipsy and Fat Boy Slim.

Members js1 Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm with you on Fat Boy Slim. I'll go a little old school with Coldcut. Here's a great example of them goofing around. Make sure you listen to the end. [video=youtube;vkPNbTjQgVU] js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hard Truth Posted May 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 29, 2011 Coldcut was great. Stop that Crazy Thing was a landmark classic of sampling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nat whilk II Posted May 29, 2011 Members Share Posted May 29, 2011 Interesting that there don't seem to be just an overwhelming number of really hardcore sample collage artists. Could maybe be because there is no more tedious and unmusical method of putting a composition together? I certainly don't have the patience for it - I already sit in front of a computer futzing with a mouse enough at work... Amon Tobin is really great - hard to top. D J Shadow - I could be wrong here - seems a bit of a one-hit wonder with that one famous album. I think of the Orb as a project that uses samples, but is primarily synth-based. Their sample use is clever, funny, effective, etc., like Jack Dangers and his various projects. The ambient guy who goes by Biosphere messes around with classical samples - Debussy in particular: [Youtube]6pSWQ1b79PY[/Youtube] And this guy has to be OCD off the chart to come up with his material - Venetian Snares. Listen to LOUD - and with someone else in the room, might bring on seizures....

Members elsongs Posted May 29, 2011 Members Share Posted May 29, 2011 The Art Of Noise! [video=youtube;-sFK0-lcjGU] I'll vouch for Fatboy Slim as well. The album "You've Come A Long Way, Baby" is what, 14 years old now? But none of it sounds dated. In fact, people still use the songs for commercials and sporting events.

Members Hard Truth Posted May 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2011 How could I have forgotten Meat Beat Manifesto? For those who have surround sound, he has a couple of very cool DVDs with extensive surround sound use and abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Orb has a lot of more sampling going on than just the dialog. A lot of the synth parts are samples as well. As they progressed through the mid-to-late nineties, they added some serious synth programmers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
