nlogax & aquarius

-nlogax-
well,if you listen to the opening beat of nlogax you will
clearly testify that boc sampled "indeep - last night a dj
saved my life".
this once again prooves how they are heavy into the late
70's to 80's music,so i wouldn't be surprised to find some
new material out of my mega disco funk 2cd compilation.

-aquarius-
at first i thought it's boc's aquarius played in the
radio,but slowly the different arrangement started to
follow...you can hear the original snippet of the Aquarius
track which is actually one of the tracks from the hair
movie!

aquarius

:o

i assumed boc played the bass in for aquarius. it's a shame
to hear it's sampled. i'm now recalling the moment when i
found out that the orb's little fluffy clouds ripped off pat
metheny.

first time and i was like ...wow,man they played it soo good
jamming.

i guess so...i'm really hooked on their music,so it becomes
an obsession sometimes.

i've been there. i've totally sickened myself with different
styles/artists before by over-analysing music.
watch out!

for a half a year after the exhausting in deep analysis.

yeah, but then theres that point when you've left it for so
long and you finally decide to give it a blast again and it
sounds so amazing......
it happened with me about a few weeks back when i was
listening to "sixtyniner"....that melody at the start is
just beautiful.

heh,my first reaction was...oh shit,i don't feel their music
anymore,so eventually it started to sound like bleech!

i even had an oluterbody experience which i think aesthetics
knows for.

I don't see the problem. to me that bassline always sounded
like it was sampled, especially because the percussion you
hear with it sounds like it's part of the sample (and not
added on).

for instance...daedelus has a lot of sounds that sound
sampled,but aren't!

I don't know, just listen to it - it sounds obviously like a
sample to me, like something chopped out of a record and
looped profusely, I guess I mean: a sample.

do you mean 'other work' or 'authers work'?

Someone repeating a clip of anothers work can and should be
taken on merrit as itself. Whether they credit the other
party is a different matter. I can get lost in loops of
other peoples music easily if it's well chosen.

well,an original sound from an artist,that's what i wanted
to say.
yea,i know how it goes with loops..i always tell myself i
need to lay of it somtimes,but it fits in the groove very
well.
but something like aquarius is tottaly different...when you
have a sample that is quite obviously snatched.
...i wonder if they ever got the permit for using it on a
record which was sold over a few thousand copies + some ppl
still think it's an actual boc work.

I guess I mean it does sound like someone actually playing
the bass and I've never heard BoC play anything else than
keyboards and splatter samples all over the place.

I'm sure no permission was granted from the people that
wrote it, otherwise they'd be listed as the writers. You
don't need to lay off the loops!! if it fits, use it. The
end result is the most important not the distribution of
wealth/money. In my moral high horse opinion.

i think sampling is important and the obnoxious red tape and
fees that the original artists ask for completely hinder
artistic development.

pretty unhearable.

True, there needs to be a middle ground law that compensates
the originater and awards the new user. A flat
fee/agreement so music can progress in it's own silly
fashion.

i'm not convinced that there should be any fee or permission
necessary whatsoever. what about the graphic artist who
cuts bits out of magazines and re-arranges them into a
collage? how is this any different from audio sampling? i
wouldn't expect the collage artist should have to pay or get
permission to use the bits from the printed source material.

i start to ask who is not using loops?

it's the cycle of life...recycle the existing into a new
from of the same.

I'm also not convinced you can compare different disciplines
as easily as that - in other words, "sampling" in visual art
is something different than sampling in audio.

I agree that the whole stance towards sampling is
ridiculous.

well,there is a law that permits you to sample
drumloops,because anyone can make the same,but then again
you have melodies which are permitted unless you have a 2
second sample or something like that.

that's the ideal world. Actually people need to buy food,
pay bills etc. the same goes for people 'sampling' other
peoples work for collage, yes, it's in a different context
but aren't they using the weight that the original artist
supplied? Do you make music or Artworks primarily?

what about this:

1. a graphic collage that is a combination between two
popular images - the mona lisa superimposed onto a coca-cola
bottle.

2. a song comprised entirely of a beatles rhythm section
looped over and over and excerpts of ronald reagan speaking
played over it.

aren't they more similar than not? it seems they are to me.
just two different mediums that utilize the same process.

"...aren't they using the weight that the original artist
supplied?"

that's a good point and i don't really know the answer,
honestly. i am not sure how this issue can be resolved.
but i do know there's something inherently wrong when the
rich chart-topping pop singer can go after a bedroom
producer for re-arranging bits of their song without their
permission.

"Do you make music or Artworks primarily?" mostly music,
but i have made many 2d collages in the past. :)

exactly. using the weight and effect of others work to
impose something. it's still a combination of the two
original artists + it's a new slant by the 'artist'. Surely
some credit should go to the foundation of it or should that
be bypassed?

It'd be nice if there was a simple agreeable soloution to
this. It needs to be thrashed out with massive arguments
for a few years I think.

i don't know. maybe it isn't always necessary or practical
to include such credits. i could see both sides of this
arguement. this is where our conversation goes into "what
should be done?" and i don't claim to have the answers.
because there are so many possibilities (eg. what if it's a
well-known icon vs an unknown song?)...

i think the copyrights are there to protect, not to screw
over artists.

well, to me these disciplines have their own dramaturgical
laws. in short, it's like in pommes little film, they take
up the example that Shakespeare sampled other texts.

but how many people will recognise sampled texts? and how
many will recognise a sampled piece of music?

yes, but is it even important that it is recognized? i'm

that might be one of the more astute differences between
music and visual art though - most sampling in visual art
will be to reference to the sampled work of art in some
way.

this happens in music too ofcourse, but not as much, I
think.

I'm thinking out loud here, I should point out.

maybe the music sampling is a bit more
un-educated/un-respectfull/un-researched. Visual art is
inherintly more interpretry! ( is that a word ?) maybe i
should go to bed now........

I think it's more interprety, yes.

I should really go to bed. I've slept 4 hours a night for
the last few nights and I have to get up in 4 hours.

but I just drank a beer and it perked me up a bit.
