Some sampling/mashups/electronic stuff

[farbro]

I've been doing this stuff in Ardour for about a year now, and just finished another track called Unplugged: http://soundcloud.com/farbro/unplugged

Most of the sounds are collected from different songs of different genres and age, then cut into pieces, rearranged, processed and transformed into a new track with a totally different sound. This track features the Beatles, Big Bang, Otis Redding and some Bollywood film music for example, among many others. It's stitched together with the SO-404 LV2 synth and processed mainly with the Calf plugin pack, using Ardour3 on Dream Studio 12.04.

What do you think? If you like it, have a listen to my 4 other tracks: http://soundcloud.com/farbro

Also; if someone has a genre suggestion for this, please let me know!

Hi Farbro! nice work!

I'm not very into sampling and rearranging themes into new ones, though your sound is very compact... Well done. A technical question: Did you sampled the tracks straight into Ardour or did you used a smapler like Petri-Foo?

Let me suggest a genre name: Samplectro

[farbro]

Thanks! Yes they are all sampled and processed with Ardour. I'm still looking for a good live-sampler for Linux, but so far I haven't really found what I'm looking for. But Petri-Foo seems interesting, gonna have a look! My goal is to be able to do something like this live someday, with Linux. But that seems like a hard nut to crack...

Yeah, I'll keep that genre suggestion in mind.

For samplig, well, it is not a full sampler but an Ableton alternative: Harry Haaren's Luppp should do the trick for most of the sampligin purpose of an average remixer.

Kinda beta till these days, but it worth a while take a look to it.

I dig it! It's chill and catchy.

Cool! Seems to have some potential, problem is they need to be 100 % stable for live usage... There are so many cool projects out thtere but not many reaches that level. Just ordered an Akai APC-40, thinking of connecting it to SooperLooper and some sampler and see what I can come up with.

I'm very excited about the upcoming Bitwig for this purpose. Sadly not OSS but at least Linux friendly.

I dig it! It's chill and catchy.

Thanks!
