Yes indeed! In fact, I am actually the founder of what I hope will
become a small collective of sound collage artists, Mini Nifty. We're
kind of like Negativland, except we do things more positively, and
things they think are "stupid" we usually think are "nifty". So I hope
to support the collage scene. Wow, you can actually hunt for zero-view
videos? Wow! Stark Effect would type random words into file-sharing
websites, and would sample things that were found because the user was
unaware that the folder was shared. Okay, I'm aware that this message
is going out to the entire list, but since it's my list, I will do it;
here is a link to our collage work as Mini Nifty.

Hi Tyler,
I've been using similar methods for a long time, in the past I've put the
tv or radio on random stations and forced myself to sample what ever turns
up.
this is the first time I've used random youtube, though I read on /mu/
about using youtube videos with zero views which I found interesting but
never got around to doing.

anyway, hope something comes of this, look forward to hearing stuff, I'll
let you know when I'm happy with the track, Might even start a few more,
maybe release an EP or something.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi, it's Tyler, the one who suggested the sound collage project, and
who moderates and invented this mailing list. We only have a few
subscribers right now, but I've been working on sound collage
constantly. I'm not a typical "looping community" person; maybe I
belong more to the "sampling community". So I have a lot of sound
collage that I've made; sometimes I play music catalogue roulette;
some music catalogue websites give a number to each CD they've made,
so if the URL ends in 1, then it's the first album; if it's 650, then
it's their 650th album. So I'll have a program pick a random number
between 1 and 999, put it into a catalogue site that works with
numbers in the URL, and see what CD comes up. It could be old
classical music, it could be rap or metal! You never know! But I do
the good old YouTube keyword play as well. But most of my stuff is
made from the CD's and tapes in our collections.

youtube roulette, coming together nicely.
hope I'm not alone.
