Hello!
We all know what a huge success Sample Me Up Mofo was, (thanks for the Ivor by the way), but just in case you didn’t notice it the first time. I’m doing it again.
Here’s a quick recap of the general vibe.
I want you (the reader) to send me a short audio sample. The sample must be 5 seconds or less for example banging a pot, kicking a colleague or humming into a biscuit.
you see. I’m going to write a tune with all your samples.
a few rules
1.) I’d like it to be as analogue as possible…so don’t just send me the contents of your sample library from a future music cover mount dvd!
2.) no snippets of actual songs
3.) can’t be more than 5 seconds long…don’t want my inbox crashing
4.) please don’t send me any riffs or melodies. I want this to be as hard as possible.
5.) lastly, by sending me the samples you’re going to waive any-kind of rights you have…so another reason not to send me any killer riffs or melodies as you’re probably going to want to use these in your own music.
I will be keeping note of the samples I use, who they came from and what I did to them, so when the track is done I can name check you guys personally. (so when you do send me a sample, please write your name and where you come from i.e.: James Yuill, London, England or Mr A. Schwartzenegger, California, LA)
Please send the samples to me at
samplemeup@jamesyuill.com
many thanks!
Excellent!
“humming into a biscuit” ??
I wonder what that actually sounds like? lol! I might try it and send the result…
I’ve sent you New York as heard through my jeans pocket.
They’re black jeans, should it matter.
can’t wait
You already have the bodysnatcher noise, if that’s any use..?
yeah…the noise…thanks for that…i…um haven’t used it….yet….i…um…will soon
pleeeasse
Hi James, Is Sample Me Up 2 still on its way or have Zero 7 got in the way of all these shenanigans?
