This is like one of those music YTPs people used to make with random memes and videos, Except that now instead of using those things, It uses actual music samples to create more music.
Except this ISN’T creating more new music, it’s cloning already existing music, to sound more like already existing music. This project is very creatively nihilistic. It’s like if a human tried to make ai music.
@@jnnxbro how is this “nihilistic” like have you ever heard of remaking things? By that logic is a still life painting also creatively nihilistic since it’s just a recreation of the things in your surroundings? Art based on other art is still art.
Daft Punk - Face to Face RYM top 100 albums edition Nah but in all seriousness this is impressive, completely remaking a sample based song this complex with entirely different samples cannot be easy xD
Covering a plunderphonics song? Wtf?!? People don’t understand the immense difficulty of finding completely different songs with the same sound and vibe as the original, seriously insane man hats off to you for the achievement
These are microsamples. It’s much MUCH easier to find matching samples than you think! Please use your brains, and think about all bands have the basic building blocks of rhythm section, voice, guitars, bass, synth, etc. AI also makes matching sound samples much easier. . .
@@jnnx "Please use your brains" are you calling us *stupid?* there are rarely any covers of _plunderphonics_ tracks. daft punk & todd edwards compiled about 70 samples to use for face to face, and they had to pick *20* from them. that's still a bunch of samples! very few people (besides todd edwards) have done this kind of plunderphonics with a myriad of samples. you could see why people were amazed both at the original track and this cover, and that these samples happened to have the perfect riffs, melodies, and chords to be put together to make face to face. stop devaluing stuff which other (more innocent) people are astounded by. i'm genuinely so tired of seeing these types of comments implying that people are stupid or amazed at the littlest things. if they're happy with what they find, keep them happy. _there's nothing wrong with being happy at the little things_
...and for some reason C. R. Jepson and Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson... I guess this is how sampling is supposed to work; you mash so much stuff together that it becomes hard to tell what came from where... Creativity.
ok maybe 63 people already said it but the way you sampled those songs are truly amazing. Like face to face is a REALLY HARD song to pull off there's so much going on and your chopping was on point. congratz nickster
It’s technically time consuming, but not “hard” (it’s already been done). I think it displays how the choice of songs used isn’t as important as how the samples are arranged.
putting LCD Soundsystem as the primary drum base, so that its constantly looping through the entire song, seems especially fitting to me. LCD Soundsystem obviously are big fans of Daft Punk, given their song "Daft Punk is playing at my house". Great work Nickster!
You’ve done the impossible: you’ve managed to “cover” a Plunderphonics track! Amazing stuff, Nickster! Love the In Rainbows inclusions. Would you consider a DAW screencap video to show how the samples are chopped and arranged? 😄
@@Nicksterbruh PLEASE I NEED TO SEE Kidding aside, I am absolutely amazed at what's been going on within the sampling community. Not only are there more creative expansions to the concept, but creative constraints as well! Please show us your work in a DAW screen recording! I have Ableton so I'll be studying it closely on my own time, but others could really benefit, and even be inspired, by a video like what they commentor asked!
Props for focusing on the function of the samples, not just picking super close sounds. Some of these are radically different, yet serve the exact same function and sound great. Love it
Crazy how you can just hear the time period itself in the music. For a million different reasons, it's sharper, colder tones, more spaced out etc as compared to the music of the decades Daft Punk used. No difference in quality just style, this sounds great 👌
1. The idea originally came back in April 2023 from someone in a sample hunting server I was in, who had asked if someone could try to remake face to face but using a newer set of samples. I decided to go ahead with it and it took me about a few weeks to finish 2. I didn’t start with the beginning of the song, I just thought of samples from the original that sounded similar to snippets of other songs, and slowly built the song from there on out. iirc I might have started with the MGMT/American Football/Wilco samples first and everything else started falling into place soon after
@@Nicksterbruh wow, that’s awesome! i’m glad you decided to do it, face to face is one of my favorite songs ever so it’s really sweet to hear this modern interpretation:)
Imagine listening to an album and realizing "hmm, this part goes exactly like THAT part of the extremely complex sample mix on Face To Face" Now imagine noticing this several times until you get the whole song and cut everything so perfectly. This is at least crazy, and surely genius. 🤯
this sounds like face to face but in the style of random access memories, i love it, i love it real hard edit: 2,1k already? geez also i kinda agree with some replies, it doesnt sound like ram, but more so unique, idk why i had a feeling it sounded like ram
Brilliant composition! I think this does a good job of showing that Daft Punk didn’t steal. They made their own music, they just used pre-existing songs as instruments.
this is CRAZY good, really keeps the spirit of the original and doesn't shy away from getting technical and creative. what a love letter to sampling this is (especially with the inclusion of OPN! made me smile) ♡
this is one of the best videos ive ever seen -- you were faithful to the original song with a whole different pallet of sounds. and your sample choices! lcd, sweet trip, radiohead, american football, mgmt, wilco, fishmans . . . some of my favorite artists
RUclips algorithm gave me some absolute heat with this one. Seriously insane how well the samples worked and where they came from, absolutely amazing work
This is awesome! I'll admit I've heard Face to Face so many times that this was always going to sound a little off to me at first, but after a very short time my brain completely accepted it as the real deal, these chops are too great. Keep up the good work!
This is one of the most impressive and complex things in music I've seen, when I clicked on the video I was conflicted between curiosity & skepticism but you've definetly gained my respect.
its crazy too how when u think about each song separately, you dont expect them to lend themselves to this sort of song, but in this context they make exact sense!
The people who haven't clicked on this when they see it in their recommended should be detained/arrested for limiting their perception of this actually massively impressive remix.
This is fuckin sick wtf, just shows you can make anything with music, sample chopping and pitching etc, sounds good asf like the original but with a twist that violin I love, the editing as well 🙏🏽🙏🏽 amazing job
i’ve never listened to much daft punk, but i decided to go and listen to the original before i listened to this for the first time, and i’m glad i did. this is such an impressive and awesome project. these sample choices give me chills

how on earth did you 1. come up with this idea 2. follow through with it to create a cohesive song? this is so cooool

0:43 my replay button. I was legit emotional the first time I heard this. It's so well done
Gave yourself the wackiest set of restrictions for one of the trickiest songs to pick apart and still nailed it, teach us
Imagine listening to an album and realizing "hmm, this part goes exactly like THAT part of the extremely complex sample mix on Face To Face"
Now imagine noticing this several times until you get the whole song and cut everything so perfectly.

OH MY GOD. THIS IS SO COOOOLLLLLLL. The Poker Face sample playing when the lyrics came in was SUCH a good touch.
this objectively great. LCD, Boards, Daft, Sweet Trip, MGMT, Radiohead, its just perfect

Haha thanks!
This is otherworldly in terms of matching the vibe of the OG
Face to Face not only sounds good, it somehow brings creativity to people in away. There are so many talented guys working with it on the internet.
Daft Punk in a parallel universe where they exist 30 years later:
dude you've got some serious talent doing these chops
Brilliant composition!
I think this does a good job of showing that Daft Punk didn’t steal. They made their own music, they just used pre-existing songs as instruments.
this is seriously so impressive. cant imagine the amount of work just to find all these samples and chop them up in a way that sounds this good.
This is like when Radio DJs never stop doing the intro thing for 4 minutes and 51 seconds

Reading the title of the video my first thought was madeon’s pop culture
RUclips identified this video as being “Face to Face”. If confusing the Algorithm isn’t the mark of a good remake, I don’t know what could be.
The video uses Todd Edwards' vocals
it literally plays the original song in the beginning lmao
It’s the vocals.
this sounds like if they did it with Julian Casablancas
0:59 That part tickles my brain. I don't know why though
this is the best video I've seen in a while. great idea and execution!!

Dang mgmt fits and doesn’t fit at the same time with the wide collection, makes it truly unique!

The fact that you spliced and matched the newer sample very closely to the original samples and making it work is mindblowing
That is legit a such a good idea to train or to recreate in a more recent style, I need more, do more of these !
Not remixing, but "covering" songs identically with different samples is a super cool idea.
