How far how deep do you dig?

[Relic]

DO you go past the 1970's?
1960's?
Do you look into pop of the 1940's?

Can you sample from the 30's?

Do you go through and are you inspired by music from 1710?
I heard a kick ass song that was actually from 1710 on the radio the other day, sooo many ways to break a song down I learned from it...
I mean this song was like the Justin Timberlake of its time.(That's what the show was about dance music from that era lol)

When you dig , do you just dig for some old ass unheard of record (which is good dont get me wrong) or do you also dig for concepts?

i've sampled everything from thunderstorms to birds to a $1 recorder/flute.

sampling nowadays can't be an obvious once-popular melody that's barely been chopped.. evolution of the hop makes the hip flip the intricate chop!

be the future

i dont dig becauseeee i dont have a record player or turntable. but i do download albums from 1970's and surrounding decades. lol. sorry if im interfering with the actual diggers, but i just download w/e i can find on blogs.

just curious how u heard a song from 1710 when there would be no recording of it. unless it was the actual song replayed by someone. which then im curious what song it was cuz i wana hear it nowww.

Because it was a symphony. They can be played in any year and its the same song.

Musically, I think every era has its gems and it's interesting to hear the progression both musically and in terms of recording techniques over the years. In terms of sampling, there's tons of stuff from every era, some of those early recordings on 78s and such have some of the most "organic" and soulful shit I've ever heard.

The earth's core is my only limitation...

 

[Elgen]

I will sample absolutely anything. Mp3, vinyl, cd, cassette... I'll take it all. Any genre, any era, anything.

Other countries... thats the only way these days

Timbo style, huh? haha. You're doing this so you would not get sued, or just because of the music?

Just because of the music, pure hotness.

Anything that catches my ear. Used a sample from a piece of music from 1551 today.

Oh yeah ? Trying to one up me eh?

[The Mastermind]

I go all the way back to the first decade of the 1900s with my music. It's amazing how funky some of those guys were when they strummed their little ukeleles (sp?).

Actually this thread reminded me that I had a record of medieval music that I hadn't listened to yet. It's got some good stuff, you know harpsichord, lute and shit.
