Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome to The GXO Samples Show Part One! We’re delighted you’re joining us for our first few baby steps towards uncovering the mystery of Music Samples. What are they? And where do them come from? This multi part expose podcast explores how the visual arts of the 19th century, in the form of both montage and collage, went on to inspire a new language and aesthetic for music in the 20th century and beyond. From modernist composer Charles Ives’ backwards looking work of futurism in his seminal 1906 piece Central Park In The Dark through to the emergence of Musique concrète in France in the late 1940s to 1950s minimalism with John Cage, we leave no stone unturned. If you are eager to know how the 19th century son of a US Army Civil War veteran helped pave the way for 20th century hip hop aesthetics, you need to listen NOW… Be sure to stay tuned for the continuing story NEXT WEEK on The GXO Samples Show where the mystery of Music Collage, Music Sampling and MORE continues to unfold!
