Animal Collective and Sampling

Gray -- March 24, 2009 -- Uncategorized.

Animal Collective makes extensive use of samplers. Usually, samplers are used in a hip-hop or dance context for playing beats and some lead lines. Animal Collective uses them in an entirely different way. They make use of the Roland SP-404 and SP-303 to create ambience and sample beats. They use quite a bit of found sound in their recordings (ex. the didgeridoo sample on “Lion in a Coma” off of their latest record, Merriweather Post Pavillion). Noah Lennox, better known as Panda Bear, exclusively plays the sampler on his Person Pitch album. Want to hear some other creative sampler users? Check out [Post-foetus], Odd Nosdam, Flying Lotus, Bradford Cox and Daedelus.
