Sample a series of YouTube videos and put them together as a musical collage. What do you end up with? Something oddly new and original. Is this art? Is this music? Whatever it is, it is unique and well done. It's hard to believe that each individual musical clip can be taken out of its original source then put together with a variety of unrelated bits to arrive at a working whole. Did sampling allow for the changing of tempo and pitch? Could all of these fit together untouched?
Achieving something like orchestral jazz, Kutiman manages to make a cohesive whole of surprising ingenuity.
