Plunderphonics

Plunderphonics is a musical approach that involves using and manipulating existing sounds and recordings, such as samples from other songs, to create new compositions. It often recontextualizes audio from various sources, reshaping them to produce unique art. This technique challenges traditional ideas about ownership and originality in music, blurring the lines between homage and appropriation. Artists may employ this style to critique cultural phenomena or explore the interplay of sound and meaning, resulting in works that can be both innovative and provocative.
