Week 9: Make use of samples outside of Nanoloop

By AMD24 on March 1, 2024 5:46 pm

Back to the small challenge/experiments this week

Sample is in the public domain. Recording of 'On the Banks of the Old Raritan' dated to 1915

It didn't work as well as I thought

nice sample! maybe it would work better if you try to incorporate multiple unrelated samples together. otherwise it's hard to make something around a sample with such a well defined aesthetic.

Neat! It's not "seamless" but I like it anyway. I would love to hear you keep trying with this technique. Where'd you find the sample? I feel like Library of Congress has some pretty cool sound archives but I haven't looked in a while.
Reminded me of a happy version of this song from Vince Clarke's recent solo album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KR2qcgOjHk

Agreed, it definitely felt lumped in when I was doing it, would like to revisit this idea with a more "embedded approach" for sure!

The sample came from The Public Domain Review (https://publicdomainreview.org/), but i'll definitely look into the Library of Congress material when revisiting this idea!

You are far too kind, thank you for the good recommendation too!
