workshop 11 (sampling)


I found a song called starlight by dave (https://youtu.be/iVWsP3IadBk) and at 13 seconds there’s a humming vocal or instrument in the background which is humming the melody of fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra (https://youtu.be/ZEcqHA7dbwM). I’m not entirely sure about what type of sampling they use as they never use any audio from the original song, however, the melody is the exact same and the humming becomes lyrics at a couple of stages in the song and they quote the official lyrics of fly me to the moon; this happens at 2 minutes 19 seconds. No socio-political dimensions have been used and I think the artistic result was to remix and modernise the song.
