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…

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?

I wonder is it an enourmous talent and sound engineering skills, or simply drugs? Or being popular peformer people queue with ideas and it's enough to pick the interesting ones?

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

are you injured? as in, did I personally injure you with my aggression?

If you want more visualisation like that Daft Punk sample, see how the samples in Jamix xx's Girl come together!

Personally, I like the use of Bobby Byrd's "I know you got soul" by Eric B & Rakim on their track conveniently called "I know you got soul". A combination of multiple samples punctuated by Rakim inventive lyrics make it a timeless classic IMO.

Most of the time, sampling like this is just fumbling around and happy little accidents. There may be a goal they have in mind, but rarely would you know in advance what the end result should sound like exactly.

songs come together in pieces. mostly. the jre with billy corgan is a great place to hear some real knowledge dropped on this subject. i’ve always appreciated billy corgans approach to songwriting and his willingness to talk about it.
