Plunderphonics, a genre I'm very interested in.
How does one go about making music in this manner? How do you isolate each track? Where do you find what to sample? What programs does one use to sync together the samples? Also, in the thread share other plunderphonics albums.
Another good example
very high quality genre
DJ Shadow's Endtroducing is the holy grail of plunderphonics, also check out J Dilla's Donuts (both are entry level and popular on /mu/)
whosampled.com is a good resource, you can find most samples by searching for the song.
as for creating songs, I'm not sure what to tell you. there aren't any rules
does this count?

aaaaand to close the circle of the absolute most basic examples of plunderphonics, check out Negativland's work if you want something slightly more politically charged.
Well, I guess the only real question I have on the topic of creating songs is how the artists isolate the sounds. Is there a program that exists to sample certain parts of an audio file?
Also, pic related is another I've listened to

The sounds often aren't isolated. On Replica, you often hear more than one instrument or sound at once, or voices with them.
Plunderphonics is no different from working with any other samples.

That's actually very interesting. I guess I just assumed that somehow the sounds were isolated. Thanks

i hate that /mu/ doesn't acknowledge John Oswald as the architect of this genre. it's really obnoxious and disappointing that every time this genre comes up, people spam the same three artists, one of whom was just a hip hop producer and made beats with imaginative samples, which isn't even sort of plunderphonic work.

This is true, Oswald coined the term in fact.

Sound isolation is possible, but very difficult to do for some samples. If one instrument is panned hard right, you could isolate it that way. Otherwise, it's just a matter of accentuating it with EQ.
Solex and People Like Us are some less mentioned artists in the genre I like. People Like Us is in the same line as Negativland withe the sound collage and such while Solex makes stuff closers to pop songs with samples.
