Turntablism is the hip hop art of manipulating sounds and creating music using turntables and a DJ mixer. Modern day turntablism is the closest hip hop music gets to art music.

John Oswald described the art: "A phonograph in the hands of a 'hiphop/scratch' artist who plays a record like an electronic washboard with a phonographic needle as a plectrum, produces sounds which are unique and not reproduced—the record player becomes a musical instrument."
Turntablism repertoire has written notation, creating a musical part or score for their compositions and pieces. Great examples are DJ Yoda & Heritage Orchestras Concerto, Martin Tetreaults musique concrete for turntables, Kid Koalas Your Moms Favorite DJ, eriKm and DJ Spookys Ice Music works.

Of course, the history of the turntable being used as a musical instrument though has its roots dating back to the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s when musique concrète and other experimental composers (such as John Cage, Halim El-Dabh, and Pierre Schaeffer), used them in a manner similar to that of today's producers and DJs, by essentially sampling and creating music that was entirely produced by the turntable. Cage's Imaginary Landscape No. 1 (1939) is composed for two variable speed turntables, frequency recordings, muted piano and cymbal. Even earlier, Edgard Varèse experimented with turntables in 1930, though he never formally produced any works using them.

This school of thought and practice is directly linked to the current definition of hlp hop-related turntablism, though it has had an influence on modern experimental sound artists and composers such as Christian Marclay, Kid Koala, Otomo Yoshihide, Philip Jeck, DJ QBert and Janek Schaefer. These artists are the direct descendants of people such as John Cage and Pierre Schaeffer and are often credited as a variant to the modern turntablist DJ and producer.

WHAT ABOUT THE BOOT CAMP CLIK, ARTHUR?

I love how whoever put this image together has no idea that sampling has been around since electronic technology became implemented into music as musique concrete. Even then, hip-hop has used sampling before 2001, with DJ's being around since the 1970s.

i could never get into rap/hiphop because 90% of the time the music is sampled/interpolated and the only original aspect of it is the rapping. sure they tend to add their own drum machines and sub bass, but it's just augmenting the existing sample/interpolation that makes up the bulk of the song.

>>71087625
I guess Prince is just written off because he used a drum machine?

>>71087682
Yes, not a very good type of poetry, but yes.

can i join you jerking off to your bruce springsteen records

Yes, sampling is stealing and unskillful. The Avalanches are talentless hacks for taking hundreds of samples and turning them into something that sounds completely different to its pieces.

>implying appropriation and recontextualization isn't the single most important development in art history since some cavemen decided to paint the walls of a cave or a bang some bones on a skull in a somewhat rhythmic fashion
Boy, sure must be cool living in the 1880s, huh?

Where do I start with turntablism?

Anyone who doesn't respect transformative works doesn't know shit about art
