The Chopping Board: Real-time Sample Editor

Jason Lee

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

“Chopping” is a compositional technique used by many hip-hop producers and other artists working with audio samples. This technique involves separating a sample into smaller segments and re-sequencing them into a new composition. The Chopping Board is a composition and performance tool designed specifically for this technique. It is meant to inject some of the elements of traditional musicianship into sample-based music.
