But What About The Poor Musicians?
Saturday, August 15th, 2009For the last several days we’ve been discussing the amazing art of sampling that is making such huge contribution to the music industry and to the way music is made today.

For a composer, this is a tremendously enabling concept. It means that the huge amounts of money previously spent before are no longer necessary for the completion of one’s musical creativity.
