Double sorry, two more artists I'm surprised didn't show up: David Shea and David Weinstein, both of whom have made live performance out of fully reconstructed sample works. philz On 1/13/04 3:23 AM, "Jim Flannery" <newgrange@newgrangemedia.com> wrote:
Sorry, one more I can't leave out: Nicholas Collins' _The Devil's Music_, which in live performance features an array of radios, each with its own sampler; he samples bits out of all the stations he can hook up and loops them, slowing altering or replacing tracks. The actual sound of the piece is totally different from performance to performance, it can range from almost entirely voice (lots of talk radio) to something Nymanesque (lots of "smooth classical"). On Trace Elements (1986), alternate versions on a couple of Tellus cassettes.
Speaking of Nyman, most of his early Greenaway soundtracks are scored by taking melodic cells from romantic pieces and processing them via minimalist techniques; not samples per se but kinda in that ballpark (scored collage is about as big a subtopic as industrial collage tho).
