Mild und leise

Enjoying my first listen of Kid A Mnesia this morning and found a related topic on HackerNews. American composer Paul Lansky received a Ph.D. in music from Princeton in 1973. He served on the Princeton University faculty from 1969 until retirement in 2014.

In a blog article, Paul shares how Radiohead approached him to sample from his first computer composition mild und leise.

The full MP3 is hosted online. The raw sample is immediately recognisable and sure to thrill any Radiohead fan.

A HN commenter points to an equally intriguing showcase of sampling in Daft Punk's One More Time, credit to @NehhLmao's tweet.
