PLAIN SLEEVE · sample series
The records, taken apart
Each release, unbundled. Bar-locked loops, classified one-shots, textures and MIDI — the same sounds the record is made of, separated out and left loose.
Free. No credit required, though it is welcome. Chop them, pitch them, mangle them past recognition.
