I'd like to make dark ambient, what the fuck should I sample?

Buy a plane ticket and record the cabin noise.

Charles manson
Ted bundy...

Albert fish was wrote some nasty letters to the parents of the childerend he kidnapped and ate.

Ummm Philosphers... Alan watts.. terence mckenna quotes....

The pleidian message

Some adolf hittle samples?

Tons of things you could use... BUT ii would suggest just doing your thing... and you'll find the right sample when you are not looking for it.

take any song, slower it, and bring down the pitch, play with this effect for hours to improve

throw a tennis ball against miscellaneous surfaces

record yourself eating runny hamburger helper

The flame lighting on a stove top.

drones. modulate them
rhythmic, "tribal" drumming, mixed into the back; be sure to use unorthodox percussion (bells are a must)
tape loops, use them
for samples, find something obscure that is unsettling not explicitly horrifying or in bad taste
good: heaven's gate tapes
bad: a hitler speech
minimalist composition
low notes only
get a tape recorder and babble into it in tongues
take inspiration from world music (look into master musicians of jojouka for starters)
go to your local record store and buy the seediest foreign record there, sample it
stash a field recorder in and old folk's home
spooky album cover in black and white

that's more like power electronics tier samples

find artist whose stash you wanna rip off
look up what they use on whosampled
find album a sample you like is from
pick the song either 2 tracks before or after it

bonus step: echo nest, neighboring artists

done

oh yeah, also kill yourself

Guitar amp feedback, add chorus that pans it around for a stereo effect, maybe a light phaser, fiddle the gain knob throughout the piece for development

Jerk off, but record it and slow it down. Make the rhythmic pulsing the hard-hitting beat.

>>72061859
do this and put some spooky creaking and whistling over it

don't forget to add tons of reverb

This
Also keep listening to everything around you and record anything that sounds interesting
Metallic objects often give of 'darker' sounds so experiment with trying to make different sounds from it
