Sampling badge
How does the exhibit work?
Choose which sounds you want to hear. Place the tiles of those sounds on an empty square and press the green button. You will then hear music playing.
What is the science behind it?
Making a song is easy. Each disc has its own sound. By placing the discs on the squares, you can hear them. Add some discs, take some away, move them and hear how the sound changes. What you're doing here is sampling. You take existing sound clips and compose your own hit with them.
Nowadays, there are lots of ways to compose your tunes. In this case you are laying discs, but it can also be done, for example, by dragging instruments around on the computer. The possibilities are endless.
Sampling by famous artists
Well-known artists do sampling too sometimes. For example, just look up the song Are You My Woman (Tell Me So) by Chi-Lites. Do you know in which well-known number this was used?
Or listen to the songs Under pressure by Queen and Ice ice baby one after the other. Recognise the beat?
