You might not remember that, but the song started as an exercise. I wanted to see IF I could get the two (edit: loops) to match. I liked what came out and continued.

As far as considering "sampling/beat-digging rules": I don't.

My standard is: "Does it sound good?"

No other rule applies, as far as I'm concerned.


My point up there was that music - in many, if not all cases - seems to be about the process of... "sharpening" old ideas.
