And her song kept people talking long after the performance Read More Music Samples Through Time The music industry loves a touch of sampling, and it’s something that can be traced back to as early as the 1900s. A popular example is Musique Concrète in the 1940s that used ‘real-life’ sounds and integrated them into a track. Fast-forward to today and sampling has almost become part-and-parcel of the art of making music. Read More
