I recently learned something that surprised me: for many people, Moby is known almost entirely because of a single album - Play.

Digging a bit deeper, I found out the story behind it, and it completely changed the way I see that record. Play was supposed to be his last album. He recorded it in a small home studio, almost as a quiet farewell.

What makes it special is that he built many of its tracks around old vocal samples from early 20th-century folk and gospel recordings. He shaped the music around those voices, set the mood, and released it and almost nobody cared. At least, not at first.

The breakthrough happened when Moby made a bold decision: he licensed every single track from the album. Commercials, movies, TV, soundtracks - suddenly Play was everywhere. It became a massive cultural moment, completely unexpectedly.

To me, it's a fascinating example of how timing, luck, and real artistic vision can collide. His later albums never reached the same commercial peak, but they're not "worse" — music just keeps moving, shifting, evolving, the same way everything else does (haha, especially the Internet as in my previous posts).

I'm almost sure you've heard at least one of these:

Natural Blues - https://youtu.be/z3YMxM1_S48
Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad? - https://youtu.be/o1Xsj9-3Pvo
Porcelain - https://youtu.be/IJWlBfo5Oj0
All of them come from Play.

But you might also know this one:
Lift Me Up — https://youtu.be/pT_Y-eodTv4
That's from Hotel (2005), a very different era of his work.

I'd recommend listening to the whole album from start to finish - https://open.spotify.com/album/4KZWx8zo5ym89aopr0dBIb.

Proposing an Anti-Capitalist Soundware License

Based heavily on the Anti-Capitalist Software License, maintained by @nasser & @everest . This is far outside my expertise, so I'm looking for feedback & suggestions (feel free to DM if you prefer that). My initial modification and more info here:

Boosts appreciated!

the rage i feel thinking about how sampling was received in music versus how AI/LLM abominations have been immediately adopted

sampling is a human conversation and history lesson

LLMs are digital cannibalism

Boutronique, le logiciel KISS pour extraire des samples d'un fichier son, et que j'ai commencé à développer le mois dernier pour alimenter un Torso S-4 commence à bien fonctionner :
- ajout et ajustement de samples, aidés par un outil de visualisation des bpm
- export avec choix de l'échantillonnage et du formart de fichiers
