/r/plunderphonics
Plunderphonics is a term coined by composer John Oswald in 1985 in his essay Plunderphonics, or Audio Piracy as a Compositional Prerogative. It has since been applied to any music made by taking one or more existing audio recordings and altering them in some way to make a new composition. Plunderphonics can be considered a form of sound collage.

The process of sampling other sources is found in various genres (notably hip-hop and especially turntablism), but in plunderphonic works the sampled material is often the only sound used.
Though mash-ups are technically plunderphonic, please refrain from posting them here and do so on /r/mashups.
Ideally, we want posts here to feature extensive sample manipulation.

I missed out on downloading "The Mystery Tapes etc." dX'88
It was only available for one day on April 4, 2024, and I was away from my computer
Does anybody have a copy? I really like John Oswald's work. Thanks!

INTERNET CLUB interview
You heard that right! Just published an interview with the legendary Robin Burnett (Internet Club, Datavis etc). This was a pretty surreal experience and I hope to interview more artists, both Plunderphonics and abroad in the near future.

Who likes Ambient Techno?!
Hey all,
Just trying to get an idea of how popular this may be.
How many of you guys are into real ambient, washy, dreamy, psychedelic style Techno?
I did these live production jams on Modular.
What do you guys think?!

Ready for Performance?
So I've been working on a Modular system to perform and produce remix style techno.
I just shrunk my system down to about 350hp...
This is direct into a portable recorder.. no DAW, no Post processing. This is what I would get running to a board...
Am I ready?
Track 8..

Plunder-esq Live Performances
Hey all,
So I just found out about Plunderphonics.
I've been a huge fan of Brian Eno's thinking and approach..so this is right up my alley.
What do you guys think?
I call the system "DJ PushPlay"
