Someone on YouTube has taken a note out of Herbert‘s songbook. That being, find something, sample every sound that comes out of it and create some wonderful ditty. Here’s what’s been made of Pixar’s brilliant film, Up: [youtubevid id=”JVxe5NIABsI&feature=player_embedded#”] It’s a pretty jubilant, bouncy tune, not unlike something off of Herbert’s Scale, where the musician sampled … [Read more…]
