my entry into the producer's corner 150th sample challenge

This is my thirty-eighth entry in The Producers Corner "sample challenge", where everyone is given the same source music from which to sample, and the results are diverse and entertaining. The source this week was Ennio Morricone's 1971 soundtrack for the Sergio Leone spaghetti western "Giù La Testa" (a.k.a. "Duck, You Sucker!" or "A Fistful Of Dynamite"). As the Head2Head sample challenge is still running, I didn't turn my mind to this until I was sure I was satisfied with the H2H entry; and then looking through this I decided to keep things simple and build off of one main filtered loop. ...I then absolutely did NOT keep it simple; using about ten different samples and snippets from the source, layering in a couple of additional loops and vocal samples, then adding my own drum programming and vinyl filters to produce a smooth swingy bit of melancholy morriconia. I hope you enjoy the final product, and please everyone stay safe and healthy out there!!!

* This won first place!!! Wow, thanks to António Megård Piteira and the rest of the TPC family!

The Good, The Bad, and The Funky (TPC Sample Challenge #153)

This is my thirty-ninth entry in The Producers Corner "sample challenge", where everyone is given the same source music from which to sample, and the results are diverse and entertaining. The source this week was Roy Budd's spooky jazz/funk score for the 1974 film "The Internecine Project". I was lucky enough to win the sample challenge from last week, which means I have to judge this week, AND might still have the Head2Head competition to worry about, so I wanted to get this out of the way quickly in order to focus on everything else. I edited and layered and combined about sixteen different loops and snippets from the source, augmented the bassline, added my own drum programming, a hint of piano and chorus, and some Stephen Hawking voice clips to finish the package. I hope you enjoy the final product, and please everyone stay safe and healthy out there!!!

Imaginary Time (TPC Sample Challenge #154)

After decades of recording and touring, and many turbulent ups and downs, Bostonians TYPE 4 are still going strong.  They've never let go of that golden age of hip-hop, still digging through vinyl for musical samples, and digging through life for lyrical stories.  Tommy O'Deed, Matt Reyes & Bill Ierardi make hip-hop for grownups, the old fashioned way: for the love of it.
