finding the universe in a grain of sound
“Part of what happens with sampladelia is that you’ve got a lot of music based on sampler memory, so that a lot of the hooks, a lot of the music that abducts you, will have to be 4 seconds or 9 seconds. So there 's this huge psychedelia based upon disguising these seconds; it 's like Mark Sinker says, finding the universe in a grain of sound – and that’s what the sampler does. There’s this huge psychedelia grown up in which you’re able to fall into a universe of sound and it’s granular, microphonemes of sound.”
