- Dreamies
In the early 1970s,
Bill Holt produced a recording called "Dreamies" - a collage of songs performed on guitar and synthesizer (aMoog Sonic 6 ) combined with snippets of found sound. The album consists of two long tracks (originally one on each side of the record) called Program 10 and Program 11, a reference to theBeatles ' Revolution #9. "Dreamies" includes excerpts of radio and television broadcasts as well as samples taken from recordings by the Beatles. It is one the earliest examples of sampling in popular music.Derivation
"Dreamies" is a term coined by
Isaac Asimov in 1955 in a short story called "Dreaming is a Private Thing". It refers to manufactured dream sequences.External links
