Definitely not. Cool samples put together do not always sound good. and it depends on the samples… I use loops and oneshots… they can be played chromatically on a keyboard, so its not like Im taking parts of a construction kit to make a song, which I also do.
And great art can be made from trash… I think an art group called Fluxus did stuff like that.
Great dialog, though!
edit:
I like to add, Im on Maschine, so you use the controller to operate soft synths… like Diva… So alot of my compositions that I make that are sample based are also mixed with synths and drum sequences.
I don’t believe there is any distinction on how to generate music. It is all the same to me… playing live jazz, or smashing loops together… this is all still a small percentage of ability that the general population of earth even tries to tackle, and all have its own merit.
