How Daft Punk Created Their "One More Time" Sample

my goodness that gescom track is awesome

Heres an example of RDJ doing some good sampling http://www.whosampled.com/sample/208220/Polygon-Window-If-It-Really-Is-Me-Ray-Conniff-The-Young-and-the-Restless-(Main-Theme-From-the-Screen-Gems-TV-Series)/

Wow I'm an idiot I never realized that but it should be obvious...

D1 is so, so good... Sounds like the a cartoon voice saying 'WARGLE!'

If someone took Michelangelo's David's torso, a sculpture of a horse, glued them both together, and sanded the edges a bit, producing an aesthetically pleasant sculpture of a centaur, would you consider it a worthy piece of art? Cause that's what some Daft Punk songs sound like to me

Check out Kris Kuksi, because that's what he does. He hacks model sets and other sculptures and composes them into his own amazing ideas. He's one of my favorite sculptors of all time, even though he's a "sampler".

Or like, Ice Ice Baby-- you know that bassline is fucking Under Pressure, but at the same time, Ice Ice Baby is totally fuckin' Ice Ice Baby.

Sooooo I think the "rule" for "proper sampling" is to create something that can be recognized as its own entity, despite using other shit's energy. This goes for concepts as well- Flintstones is still Flintstones, even though it's Honeymooners.

With Daft Punk's One More Time, nobody gives a shit about the original track. Kanye's Stronger, though, that is just totally riding Daft Punk's track, not really adding anything worthwhile, so it's a fucking piece of shit.

p.s. Everyone check out Kris Kuksi if you don't know him, because his work will blow your ballz onto your knees.

Kris Kuksi is a badger penis.

Yep. its pretty cool sampling tbh. Made the sound better by adding the delay and prob some other processing then sped it up and rearranged the melody. One of my fav tracks on surfing on sine waves, the drums that go with the melody r genius

I don't think this is a sample, more likely a Korg M1. There is a reverb on the piano in the Ray Connif song you don't hear in the Polygon Window song.

It is most definitely sampled. He processed the sound. And depending on the source, the sample may or may not have had reverb

I have always thought of that riff as having a typical electric piano sound.

I'm a huge sucker for sampling and discussion thereof, and one thing that always fascinates me is where one draws the line depends so much on genre and scene context. When does something become a remix instead of a sample flip? What distinguished disco edits - which are usually limited to unofficial white labels or mp3s - from say early Daft Punk releases or most of The Field's work? How are Soulwax or Freeland Hellraiser mash-up different than Girl Talk's albums, which he claims are not mere DJ mixes nor mash-ups. Sometimes it's a legal situation, but often it's just as much to do with the artist and their peers. Debating the merits of it is no different than debating the merits or non-sampled music, it's just with an added context of audio technology.

There's a "canon" aspect too: the use of the same Brandy acappella in future garage, the amen break, perpetual recycling of trademark samples in hip-hop and rave (like, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation samples over years). It seemed for years taboo to sample another indie or underground artist instead of remixing them, but now many producers have no qualms sampling present-day music heavily off youtube or from mp3s. That's partly why Clams Casino struck a chord.

That's partly why I like these AE and RDJ sample revelations, they get at the core of why people sample, when done right it achieves things unattainable by creating and recording original sounds: it references an influence, captures a unique aesthetic and timbre, and triggers simultaneous emotions when something sounds both new yet familiar.

Daft Punk sucks! They steal music from other musicians!! This sucks! This sampling is not an art, that's bullshit!

oh wait, my favorite musicians also do sample shit,

oh it's ok, then...

has anybody made anything following the One More Time approach?

I chopped up a different sample and used the same technique. Pretty fun and not completely unpleasant to listen to.

Sampling is only cheap when people sample the hook from other track.

very interesting topic about "one more time" sample, daft punk mystery revealed

Yah, pretty good LOL Alzado. Just add some other shit over that, and it could be a proper track.

Iiii was inspired by the sampling scene to sample my own music, and uh, yeah. Fucking make music by sampling one's own choonage, and cool shit can come out. All of a sudden, all that unused shit from those unfinished 500 tracks becomes some Daft Punk Meat Beat Manifesto Fatboy Slim shiz, bowmb diggity.

Yeah, I do this sometimes, mostly in LiveSlice. I don't have examples of sampling my own work but I did this with Junior Senior's 'Move Your Feet':
