In class on Tuesday we discussed sampling in the music industry and just what that looked like. Before this lecture if someone asked me what sampling was, I probably would have said something to do with food and trying stuff. “Sampling” that we talked about in class was referring to taking a small piece of audio and replaying it somewhere else. You showed us images of the Mellotron, which can play up to 6 different instruments I believe was amazing !! As you said in class this was first used by rock bands, and that makes sense since rock music was so intricate. I had to leave this class early for an appointment but just before I left we began talking about turntables. It was amazing to see just how much you could do to create a piece of music. It’s sad that people don’t use turntables in today’s times, but it is how music has gotten where it has today and history should never be forgotten. Until next class !
