[...] A song made from 70,2000 samples [...]

O, man, someone swiped my namespace.

As mentioned in the first comment, John Oswald/Plunderphonic pulled off a similar stunt with “Plexure” in 1991, sampling over a thousand “pop stars”. It’s actually kinda listenable, while driving the point home.

Not that this is a denigration of Kreidler’s efforts, I’m just adding a little historical flavor. I laughed when he said he wanted to register the track with GEMA. The whole project begs for a little mischief.

i love this concept! sending johannes 72,000 forms would easily cost GEMA $20,000 in stationary and postage, not to mention administration.

it’s not really necessary that he actually make a song with 72,000 samples for this action to be powerful, however i feel it would really great to hear that someone is passionate enough to take that kind of time to make a point (even if it’s hardly listenable).

[...] you had a chance to hear Johannes Kreidler’s piece, Product Placement, made up of 70,200 samples in 0:33 seconds, then you probably thought is sounded a lot like radio [...]

I’m laughing right now, I don’t why but I just wasted about 10 minutes reading all the comments since the subject is controversial enough. I didn’t take anything worthy of remembering from most of them. The concept is clever and the guy is following through with it, who really cares if it turned out to be 2 seconds of static or an extravagant hour long piece totally dedicated to the music. Seems as if people see a number like 70,000 and expect to hear the musical content to match, clearly most of his focus was on the concept and I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to use a heavily processed piece of classical piano or any other sound and claimed it to be the same thing. Either way he’s making his own statement and no one can criticize that. If your pissed because it doesn’t “sound” like 70,00 samples then go out and spend the time to make your own piece that sounds like there are… I’ll tell you one thing, I’m too lazy.

if you want to grab n seconds from all your audio files, try ArgeÃ¯phontes Lyre from Akira Rabelais. Once you figure out its obscure user interface it can do just that. Google it…

Wow, it seems the artistic endeavour here is far more intelligent than any of the comments passed upon it.

(Including this one.)
