Chances are, nobody wants to hear my rant about the lack of #MusicalDiversity in #SampleLibraries.

Which is a good reason to start it here. ;-)

Sounds to me like samples/loops/clips are part of a trend. Native Instruments just launched Sounds.com after Noiiz.com ramped up its own service. LoopMasters will update Loopcloud soon and Splice is being discussed a fair deal.
But they’re all about massive amounts of very similar samples.

@randulo Goes in line with my thing about #MusicalDiversity. In fact, France is having some impact on #DigitalMusicking, after places like Germany and Japan. For a sax-playing ethnomusicologist, it’s quite interesting.
Also interesting to me that you’d use a looper. To my ear, it works really well for your style. It’s an appropriate way to appropriate the tools. ;)
2/2 Strikes me is that we now have so many ways to make music yet there are so many similarities in music produced all over. Lots of music based on a steady 4/4 drum-related beat, repeated basslines, textural chords or pads, and melodies in “Twelve Tone Equal Temperament”, with or without vocal tracks. Almost a “metagenre” or a common thread. A strange analogy but it’s almost like the “common practice period” in #EuropeanArtMusic. As with common practice, a lot of #MusicalDiversity is put aside.
