THE ART OF SAMPLING

The art of sampling &mdash, one of the most innovative music processes to emerge in the late-twentieth century &mdash, stands today as both a celebrated art form and a cultural activity within the hip hop/rap music tradition and beyond.  ,',The Art of Sampling', (Amir Said, author of ',The BeatTips Manual',), examines this complex and controversial music process, and presents a study that illuminates the history, creative mechanics, and philosophy of sampling, while also exploring the implications that it holds for copyright law. , Divided into three primary parts, including an in-depth History part, a robust Instruction (how-to) part, and a highly comprehensive Copyright Law part, ',The Art of Sampling', is detailed, sharply informative, and engaging.  ,Astute and intensely thought-provoking, it&rsquo,s the definitive book on sampling in the hip hop/rap music tradition and copyright law, and one of the most striking and poignant music studies to come along in years._,
