The sample was taken around the 44 or 45 second mark of the original (I think…?)

I'm always amazed when artists and producers can recognize a sound as something that can be radically transformed, because I'm pretty musical but my imagination doesn't work like that. Kanye is a genius at this.

Here are two other examples I like:

* Daft Punk's 'One More Time', represented visually: https://twitter.com/nehhlmao/status/1363925150958317568

* Pusha T's 'Numbers on the Boards' sampling and reimagining a single measure from an obscure jazz song: https://www.whosampled.com/sample/230451/Pusha-T-Numbers-on-...

I’m in no way surprised it was Jonny Greenwood who discovered the record; imo he’s far and away the resident “nerd” of the group (intended in a positive light).

i’d go with the drummer if i had to pick the biggest nerd. amazing artist.

please don’t spoil, and thank you for your thoughtfulness and for reading to the end of the article. i owe you one, setgree

I realize they’ve spoiled the challenge, but Kid A was released over 20 years ago. It’s fine to ask for a spoiler alert, but you’re coming off kind of aggressive here IMO

spoiler alert — the article poses a riddle/challenge to find the sample in question, be careful reading the HN discussion if you want to try for yourself

Damn, if you're familiar with the Radiohead track, this is so satisfying.

Do you think they imagine the end result at the beginning of the process or do they just play semi-randomly until they find something that has potential, and then refine it?
