Sound Collage




Sound collage first became a possibility with the widespread use of cut up and randomly reassembled a recording of a Carousel in " Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite " on the ''Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'' LP, and John Lennon included a long pastiche of sound effects and crowd noises on '' The Beatles '' titled "Revolution 9".

The cultural awareness of sound collage was greatly increased in the against John Oswald for his seminal collage work '' Plunderphonics '' and the second by Island Records against the band Negativland for their album ''U2'' (ironically, the latter had nothing to do with sampling and was provoked by Negativland's misleading cover art). The popularity of two new musical genres that included elements of sound collage— Rap and House Music —over the same period also helped to popularize it.

Important sound collage artists include:
