  • Hi! Here’s a video I made at home, showing how I originally wrote ‘porcelain’ and also how I re-created it with Jim James for Reprise.
    'Porcelain' by Moby is taken from the album 'Reprise' out now on Deutsche Grammophon.

    I remember you Moby.. I was kid and you was in a small village of Crete Island it calls Maleme and you was in my best friend hotel.. Before you release the album play...when you left the hotel you give me your album and you sigh on it and you said this is my new album and I hope that you will like it.. And you give other one to my best friends brother.. I didn't know you who you was, even my best friend and my best friends brother. .. But I remember that you was alone and very kind and very simple man.. When I listen your album I said.. Wooow.. You make my childhood amazing.. Thank you Moby!!

      I thought the same. It's such a clever thing to do, and I was really eager to find out how he came across the sample and what made him reverse it, but he mentioned nothing about it.

    • @Expressionistix
      @Expressionistix 11 месяцев назад +6

      @@jren207 Still hiding and ashamed of sampling maybe? There should be no reason anymore. Yes this song launched a hugely successful music career and this sample is a huge chunk on that song and the original made no where near the money Porcelain did but there should be no guilt in that. Sampling was part of a bigger collective of artists from the time from Hip Hop, Indie, Techno, Trip Hop, and Dub/Electronuic music at the time that had a heavy foundation in the cheap 80's digital Akai samplers and 808 drum machines finding their way into the hands of bedroom musicians.

    Moby used the oldest trick in the book- if it sounds good forwards it usually sounds even better backwards. My theory is he tried the iconic string sample forwards at first, thought nah that doesn't sound quite right, press reverse- yes!!

    the other day listening to this song, came to me the idea that if someone wanted to experience or know what being human and being alive is all about, this song is a pretty accurate representation.

    I love listening to Porcelain and looking at Botecelli's "Rising of Venus" painting, both truly works of art. Thank you, Moby!
