That's pretty neat. I wasn't aware that Daft Punk's One More Time was based on small segments of someone else's song. If someone can find a good subsample beat from an original song, then I bet ML can iterate and do something similar. We'll soon have augmented music producers presented with 100's of sequences and then they can simply curate to find what's pleasing. It'll be an interesting side-project.

A huge percentage of hip-hop and electronic music is essentially this, sampling and remixing segments of other songs. Old school DJs since forever have been known to keep absolutely massive libraries of records going back to the beginning of sound recording, and to actually listen to them constantly - always searching for new and interesting sounds that can be used in new music. I always found this aspect and type of music production so interesting - at this point in human history, more sounds and music have been made than almost anyone can listen to and appreciate on their own, so in a way DJs and remix artists are like archeologists, digging through a century of recordings to uncover, polish, and present a rare gem of sound in a new setting.

While there absolutely are (great) artists in the dance music world recording their own acoustic instrumental riffs or vocals, I'd feel comfortable betting that a majority of the tracks we know and love that feature recorded parts like that are sampling someone else. Its part of the art form, and certainly anyone who has ever DJ'd is familiar with the idea of making something new and great from someone else's initial creation. Dance music is samples all the way down - sometimes even samples of other tracks that sampled some other genre.

A classic example is an amen break loop. Probably the most sampled sound of all times. https://youtu.be/v89CjsSOJ_c https://youtu.be/v89CjsSOJ_c
