Big Wheel Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Apologies if this has been posted before - it's been going around for a couple of weeks. There's something unsettling about this - I don't know whether to be awed at the effort, disturbed at the tricks you can do with Pro Tools et al, or laughing at the resemblance to a Japanese chindogu "useless invention."

papsrus Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think they were lip-syncing ... It was great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) More evidence suggesting that all that can be said in this "language" has pretty much been said & that now there's nothing left to do other than create an endless series of cut-and-pastes, be it by "real players" or "mechanical tricksters"? That is a question, btw, not a declaration... Edited March 23, 2009 by JSngry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 That's pretty much why I had the "disturbed" reaction - if you can do this with a machine and make it sound this good why should we even bother continuing to make it at all? It turns out the trickster in this case is also a "real player" from Israel (which I had suspected - nobody who isn't really deep into this stuff would be able to make the groove so dead-on) but still...not sure if that really changes anything.

Jim Alfredson Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I think it proves that the sampling laws are obstacles to some really creative and interesting shit. I don't understand why the existence of this type of music threatens any other form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I dig this cut that he put together: I am a sucker for talkbox, tho. I think it is an interesting take on DJ culture from two perspectives - video as a component, and amateur involvement. Before, DJs had to get acts with songs pressed up on vinyl to do their magic. That gatekeeper has been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I thought this was also too good to be buried in the YouTube thread. Never judge a book by the cover! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I thought this was also too good to be buried in the YouTube thread. Never judge a book by the cover! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY I saw a shorter version of this the other day. God love her.
