Variations : The history of sampling in music

The excellent composer/ journalist Dominique Leone points us in the direction of a massive and comprehensive project for the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art on the history of sampling in music by the also excellent composer Jon Leidecker a.k.a. Wobbly. Featuring tons of essential music and info on everyone from Charles Ives to Grandmaster Flash, this is a serious feast. Dive in with me, won’t you ?
