 Capitalize on Modern Sampling Techniques and Inexplicable Remake Craze

We now have an entire music industry that is based on sampling other music.

Use state of the art computerized music sampling techniques to produce remakes of your favorite classic. Results would range from the audio equivalent of a Mona Lisa done in graphic segments to Madonna singing American Pie

       I can't vote one way or the other because I'm not sure at all what you're proposing.

       DrAstroZoom: Sample (or syntehsize) to find the right pitch/right word combination, and build up the song phrase by phrase. In the same way that you could have a picture made ouf of thousands of small pictures.

       Its called a 'remix' and it can be seen from A Flock of Seagulls to Zebrahead. Techno remixes, covers, samlping, the works. I recall a Rush techno remix that I almost threw-up at hearing.
—Letsbuildafort, Jan 07 2004
   

       Not a remix - recreation of existing tune by painstaking sampling process, a la DJ Shadow, but shorn of originality.   

       [Lbaf], I suggest you get "Horrormone (Horrorist Remix)" by Dave Tarrida. It's bad for you.

       And I thought it was when Kelly Osborne "sang" Papa Don't Preach.

—Letsbuildafort, Jan 08 2004
