Re: cantorial sampling

cantorial samplingI have the Zohar CD, I'm more interested in the blatant 
(actually good) 'In a Silent Way' ripoffs than the chazzonish. I think a lot of 
this sort of music is really coming out of Jon Hassell's 'City' and 
'Bluescreen' records which are, in turn, coming out of electric Miles and Eno. 
Sampling like you describe always scares me a little bit, because I never know 
what's an allowable grab and what isn't. As for the artistic merits, whatever 
works...

  Gut Shabbes all. 

  Forgive me if this topic has been covered in the past and for drifting from 
Klezmer. 

  I recently picked up 2 discs- Wally Brill's "Covenant" and Zohar's 
"onethreeseven".  Both would probably fall into a category one might best call 
ethno-ambient/tanztrance/techno/world music.

  What interested me was their very reverent sampling prayers sung by chazzanim 
like Koussevitsky, Pinchik and Malavesky for use within the music as subject 
matter, melodic theme and modal anchor.

  Has anyone else heard these recordings?  Any thoughts on the use of sampling 
of Jewish music to create new Jewish music, or on these recordings in general?
