Music of the Past
«A snippet of a bassline could form the basis of a completely new track, or, a single snare hit could be dissected from the original groove and looped to create an entirely new structure. Music of the past could be brought into close contact with ideas of the present; rhythmic ideas could sonically enmesh and interact in novel ways.»
