Support Night Clerk Radio on PatreonPlunderphonics is a genre of music in which the artist repurposes samples of other music in order to construct new tracks. In essence, using the music of other artists as their instrument to create new original works. While this approach was a key element in the development of vaporwave, is there such a thing as “too much plunderphonics?” At what point does sampling simply become slowing down another song wholesale? We tackle these questions in the context of Barber Beats, a relatively new sub-genre that relies heavily on plunderphonics.Music Sampled手遅れに実現 lp by haircuts for menRed Hook by LeBronネクロマンサー by MacroblankRelevant LinksNight Clerk Radio - Episode 5 - Discussion on PlunderphonicsWhoSampled.com - Haircuts for Menr/Vaporwave Discussion of Haircuts for MenDid Olivia Rodrigo steal from Paramore?
