Ya know what would be a realt trip: writing something together using only
freely distributed samples from this list. Between all of Sascha's uploads,
Tony Thompson's, and other freebies on various sites, we've got lots to work
with.

Not to take anything away from commercial sample libraries; they're obviously
in a different ballpark alltogether. But it could really be a statement as to
the fundamental democratic nature of the web; shrinking the gap between the
have's and have not's (in terms of sample libraries that is, which of course
is an extension of one's economic power). It would also be a statement as to
the rampant piracy we all live in the midst of. We'd be saying "you can do it
without stealing"

Anyway, I'm not sure why exactly I've gone off on this rant; it's just that
the idea touches something in me. Something about working from a psychology of
abundance rather than scarcity....... Rather than that mindset of never having
enough samples (which I know we all experience to some degree or another),
working from a mindset of abundance: We all have more than enough samples to
make great music!
