Sample Me Up Mofo!, originally uploaded by jamesyuill.

Hello!

so I've decided to do a little experiment/musical project involving...well...you! If you want.

It's a simple idea...probably been done before (plus I know it's kind of like Matthew Herbert's Mission Statement thing)...but basically; I want you to send me a short audio sample. The sample must be 5 seconds or less for example banging a pot, shouting at your neighbour or silently flipping your parents the bird (ideally with some noise going on in the background).

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 Peter Potato, Tokyo, Japan)

Please send the samples to me at

samplemeup@jamesyuill.com

many thanks!

(oh and if you know anyone who would love to send me shiz then please let them know)

Hi James, Great idea!

I'll see what I can come up with. A couple of questions.. What format do you want the sample in? And Bitrate? And does it have to be stereo, or will mono do?
