Sampled Environments for Inspiration and Kickass Creation

Posted June 7th, 2011 / By Chad Engle in Inspiration

We’ve all seen the sampled tracks where someone painstakingly takes an object, records 60 sounds with it and edits it back together. Coming from a drumming background, this fascinates me as I make a beat on any object I encounter purely out of habit. There’s been a recent “revival” of these sampled environments due to technology, bordem and shear creativity. Here are a few kickass beats from objects that are sure to inspire you but at the very least, give you a soundtrack for a few minutes of your day.
