Thru-You: sampling YouTube music videos to create original works

By Brian Haas March 14, 2009 02:00 PM

I'm sure this has been done before. But I'm betting few have integrated completely disparate YouTube music clips so artfully.

Could this be an emerging trend in music? Creating entirely original pieces using clips of others' music? It worked for rap with sampling going mainstream in the 1980s.

This guy has several clips, but this one is probably my favorite. And in case you doubt that he used already-existing clips out there, he actually links to his samples.

The Internet: It's like your parents. It cares for you, feeds you, lets you sleep in its bed when you're awake at night... it's always there. Our solemn mission at "Thank you, Internet" is to give it a phone call once in a while, compliment it on its watercolor drawings and buy it birthday cards - metaphorically speaking, of course. Your job is to sit back and enjoy our frenzied attempts to celebrate said Internet, in all it's weirdness, utility and blatant stupidity. By the end of your visit, you too will be saying, "Thank you, Internet."
