Playtime Comments : [TED] How sampling transformed music | Mark Ronson

Be**********:

11:58 Hahaha it really is true, Mark became a Miley fan in 2014 after seeing her in SNL and stalked her to get to do "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" together, now he's doing her album! I'm in heaven!

be*******:

"I've pretty much wasted most of my life DJing in nightclubs and producing pop records"

The lady with blue sweater and glasses on the second row bottom up at 3:38 clearly agrees with him...

Ca*********:

14:42 OMG !!! Voices in my brain!! ....those words and piano!! And Ron’s hands...top that!

Da********:

Holy crap, that first segment when he made that beat from TED music is LIT 00:25-01:15

Ma********:

11:43 "It runs a risk" sounds like he's scratching a vinyl back and forth... :)

dr**********:

Can somebody please explain that joke with the punchline: "it's thoroughly modern Biggie" at 10:23, I don't get it at all and it's doing my head in!

4c***:

16:31 Paganini sounds great there

Ja************:

Let's face it, most of the people who hate sampling just hate hip hop in general. It's not that they don't like sampling, it's that they don't like rap.

Ga*********:

He’s 40 ?!? I thought he was like 20

as*******:

Mark Ronson did this ted talk in court for the uptown funk copyright lawsuit

Na**********:

I wish Mark Ronson was my best friend for a day. This is one of my favorite ted talks ever.

Zy***:

I really wish the quote "What happens when the music stops" would have been an abrupt end to the song, rather than a traditional end...
But man that sounded so good overall.

Xe******:

That first part was pretty cool. Don't believe me? Just watch.

Se***********:

Watching someone making music live like this makes me appreciate musicians so much more. A lot of people like to make fun of it with the whole "Oh, you play the macbook?" argument, but it takes skill to do what he's doing. Not only do you have to be musically minded, you have to be able to think outside the box to make music with unconventional means.

Mi***********:

VAPORWAVE CONFIRMED

Tw*****:

I don't know how he didn't mention Daft Punk!

Ma****************:

Making music out of music... fair enough.

st*******:

omg mark is so talented, awkward and hot. come to me, baby

KE**:

I like his hair cut, so old school and that is what makes him look manly..

Di*********:

I like how when he played La Di Da Di nobody was bobbing their heads lmao smh

Mu*********:

Come on guys. Even heavily praised guys like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin took lyrics/riffs from guys like chuck Berry and Muddy Waters. Sampling isn't stealing as covers aren't stealing.Good music is good music regardless if its sampled or not(as long as the credit the original of course ).

EL***:

too many envious people who wish they had half his talent and perfectionism. Mark Ronson is a tremendous musician, one can only wonder how long it took him to get to this level.

Da**********:

Damn, this almost made me cry it was so beautiful. I'm now a Mark Ronson fan. Way to go man!

An********:

This was quite brilliant... I had no idea he was so diverse and well spoken. Impressed.

Ch********:

he definitely know who nujabes is!!!!

Si*****:

This audience needs to be like 20 years younger

Na****:

This guy is actually a beast on the machine

pa********:

"take what is useful, discard the rest"
Bruce Lee.

Ma***********:

"There is nothing new under the sun." ~ Solomon

no***:

wtf he is 43, he looks like he's in his twenties.

xe********:

Andrew Garfield could play him in his future biopic. :p

Gi*********:

Wow, so many annoying comments on this video. Let me just make something clear here. I'm a self-taught multi-instrumentalist myself(guitar, keyboard, drums), I've played and worked with musicians from all sorts genres, from heavy metal to indian classical music and so many things in between. Being exposed to all these different creative thought processes you start to expand your understanding of music as well, and something I've realised is, there is no good music and bad music, there's music that you "get" and music that you "don't get" yet. This is the reason having an open mind is so important to being creative, it allows you to see why something is appealing to other humans, and then  see what your take on it can be. Sampling can be seen as one way of doing this. Suppose I like an tamil folk drum beat and want to have that feel in a song that I'm making, I could either find a musician, take him to the studio, make him play what I want, and then record it and use the recorded piece or I could spend time, learn how to play the instrument, then record it and then use that, or I could spend a lot of time listening to a lot of tamil folk music searching for the type of drum beat that you want, clear the sample, then use the sample. The end product, that is, the track, isn't going to be all that different in all of the cases, yet each one of the methods will take you on completely different journeys, each one just as legit as the other, with the session musician, you'll get to know about the person and his community, in the second case, you get to learn a new instrument, or in the final case, where you sample the beat, the countless hours spent researching and listening to so many of those songs leaves you with a much better understanding and a much better appreciation for that genre of music.
So, just because some one is playing a guitar in the studio or on stage doesn't mean he's more creative than a musician who's sampled something for a track, not at all, the guitarist could be playing the same chord progression that every other rock band has been playing, and that is not being creative, that's stagnating in a comfort zone(which is not bad, if that's what you want to express). A true test of creativity is to see how far you can break the general norms in the structures of music, and yet still keep it appealing. In the end, music isn't a competition of whose better than who, it is an art form, a means of creative expression.

"Every artist is a cannibal,
Every poet is a thief,
They all kill their inspiration,
And then sing about the grief"

"It's not stealing, it's retrieving"
- Mora Early

"One can steal ideas, but no one can steal execution or passion."
- Tim Ferris

Hey, it's not only in music that you can do a little bit of "remixing" of other people's thoughts, you know.

La*****:

You may not like Mark Ronson, but you cannot deny he is talented and pays respect to those who came before him. I've seen people complain that he comes from a privileged background thus making his accomplishments without work, but I disagree. Yes, he had opportunities others may not, but he has used those opportunities to learn and work. I don't like all of his music but I cannot say it's all terrible. Look at his work with Amy Winehouse, for example. He has an eclectic taste that allows for interesting music.

Anyway, Mark is obviously talented and very aware of the music scene past and present. I respect him for that.

He**************:

This is a great speech but I feel it leaves an important piece out....in fact, perhaps, a nullifying piece.
Only artists that have decent dollars behind them, a connected corporation and entertainment lawyers can ( most likely ) afford to sample, cover, etc, a melody, a beat or lyrical hook at will. So is it truly an advancement of pure art or just the machine reinvesting in proven sale pitches? Ultimately, the right to use a sample will come down to the investor, not the artist, in the mainstream.
I think sampling, from a purely artistic and technological point, is completely valid. Can Joe Schmo just sample and record at will though?
I know "missing the point" is a theme in his talk, but he doesn't speak from the place of an average artist, he speaks from the corner of the VERY few. So, while it is all dandy to talk about how great it is that Miley can reuse something, the bulk of producers do not have that access.

Ja************:

Sampling does not prevent people from making new music- never has never will. The reason crap musicians make it big is not because of sampling, but because they appeal to large audiences of teens and twenty-somethings. Besides, Ronson is right. Most samples are of obscure songs. Rarely do musicians recycle top 40 hits- that would be lazy.
I'm not saying musicians don't over-sample and make copy cat songs- they do. But tracks like Diamonds from Sierra Leone are not merely copy cats. It takes vision and creativity to reinvent something, and in the case of Diamonds from Sierra Leone I never would have gotten into Shirley Bassey if I had not heard that song. And if we're going to say sampling is stealing, then covering songs is stealing too. Both have the same idea.
