Re: [microsound] about samples

[scott allison <lipistal3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

itnerseting, the idea of samples,

seems like there should be a difference between a sample and a sound.

Seems like aq fair # of people dont sample anymore (thats inside the 
micro-community).

A sample is exactly that, something you sample. A sound could be considered 
a result of a process, but seems for many microsound artists sampling is not 
happening, instead most sounds are generated entirley wintin some sort of 
system, computer or recorded.

The idea of the sample is a difficult one indeed, right now my work is 
dealing with feild recordings, but up to this point everything has been 
created from scratch inside the computer no samples of anything taken, just 
developing sounds and pushing them around in software.

Is making a feild recording taking a sample? If the sound is not something 
that someone else has authored, would you consider nature to be someone 
else?
