my take on the challenge...

https://soundcloud.com/torchbaras/reprogression

My tech approach was to get as much sound outa as lil source material as possible, plus takin control of the melodic structure to ensure room to compose.
The artistic focus was on preservin the vibe of my go-to source for sampling - 70s soul/jazz. This in order to create my own prefered style of beats - 90s/early 2Ks boom bap!

Process divided into 3 phases:

#1. Findin suitable 1 note sources, an organ and a strings chop.
#2. Buildin a 10 sec piece from those, as similar to authentic 70s breaks as possible. Addin crackle salways.
#3. Choppin that as I would any sample, makin the beat from that, addin drums, bass, "classic" quote and choir to beef it up!

Fcourse phase 2 was rigged in a sense, since it was possible to leave out elements, for example drums, but hey, why make it harder on yaself?

All in all, a nice lil experiment in how to think samplin diff - lemme know what it is!!!
