The Quickening Art (TPC Sample Challenge #182)
from TYPE 4 · host TYPE 4
This is my forty-first entry in The Producers Corner "sample challenge", where everyone is given the same source music from which to sample, and the results are diverse and entertaining. The source this week was Shinichi Tanabe's whimsical and ethereal soundtrack for the 1977 film "Gokumon-tō". I edited and layered and combined about twenty different loops and snippets from the source, and added my own drum programming, bassline, and just a hint of piano. I didn't really spend a lot of time "chopping" the source, preferring to use what was there as layers and instruments to conduct into a brand-new confection. I figure there's no way this is going to win anything, so I decided to have fun and open it up to four minutes. I hope you enjoy the final product, and please everyone stay safe and healthy out there!!!
