Jet Set Radio

Year: 2000
By: Hideki Naganuma, Richard Jacques, Toronto

In the early 2000s, SEGA was in the middle of a creative golden age. Artsy experiments such as Rez would release alongside huge innovative and expensive masterpieces such as Shenmue. At the same time, the studio was dying, plagued by the poor sales of both the Saturn and the Dreamcast and terrible business practices. Jet Set Radio came out in this very peculiar moment in time. An arcade game about graffiti, youth and subculture, it popularized cel-shading (a technical way to make 3D graphics look like cartoons) and influenced the video game for decades to come — ever heard of Splatoon?

A big part of JSR’s attitude came from its crazy soundtrack, Hideki Naganuma’s very first work as lead composer. Taking inspiration from funk and big beat genres, and making use of advanced sampling techniques, he made a soundtrack that sounds like no other. Maybe because sampling was barely ever used in video games before (Sonic CD being a notable exception).

In-house composers Tomonori Sawada (under the alias Toronto) and Richard Jacques also contributed to the original soundtrack under the supervision of Naganuma, and SEGA added a few licensed tracks to the final game — making the titular “radio“ of the game a tasteful, underground blend of hip-hop, rock and electro.

Soundfonts & SFZ

5. The samplers of today are nothing like the samplers of years before. Largely, gone are the days of hardware samplers that can play chromatically & polyphonically using real multisamples that include seamless loop points, & cross fading. Samplers that can still do that are almost exclusively found in software plugins. I’ve found only a couple of exceptions.

Sf2 & SFZ are excellent choices!

Soundfonts & SFZ

3. Both formats support the ability to be modulated through Midi CC — in real time & through automation. If built into the patch, they can be far more expressive than simple midi keynote on/off.

4. Unlike encrypted formats, the samples themselves are accessible in both formats. Yes, Sf2 is monolithic, but Polyphone, ConvertWithMoss, and others can easily pull them out.

I often see posts by people who look down upon Soundfonts and SFZ. Here’s some food for thought for these legendary underdogs:

1. Both Soundfonts (sf2) and SFZ are open formats with many open (as well as commercial) tools and plugins. As old as they both are, they are not going extinct.

2. Both support high quality. Sf2 supports up to 24 bit 48khz, and SFZ supports everything.

Ein kleiner Leckerbissen für zwischendurch: Der HipHopper Moses Pelham wird von der Neuen Juristischen Wochenschrift (NJW) zur Causa #MetallAufMetall interviewt.

Die Antworten sind ziemlich geschliffen, enthalten aber auch interessante Passagen zum Gang des mittlerweile über 25 Jahre währenden #Sampling-Rechtsstreits und wie sich die rechtliche Unsicherheit auf die künstlerische Praxis auswirkt, Stichwort #Umgehungskreativität

AktuellRechtsstreitigkeiten älter als DuSeit über 25 Jahren streiten die Band Kraftwerk und der Musikproduzent Moses Pelham über die urheberrechtliche Zulässigkeit eines Samples. Die NJW hat mit Pelham über das Verfahren gesprochen.
🇺🇸 There is one name behind some of the most successful music albums of the 90s. The one who influenced West Coast hip-hop so much! Certainly, this is Dr. Dre!

I made the arrangement sketch using his method of sampling. But as a source for the sampling, I took my own piano loop that I made previously for another beat, and then slowed it down and cut it into pieces. Added Moog's signature bass. You hear the result.

Do you think it is worth releasing a full version?

🇷🇺 За одними из самых успешных музыкальных альбомов 90-х годов стоит одно имя. Тот, кто так сильно повлиял на хип-хоп Западного побережья! Конечно же, это Dr. Dre!

Я сделал эскиз аранжировки, используя его метод семплирования. Но в качестве источника для семплирования я взял свою собственную фортепианную петлю, которую я сделал ранее для другого бита, а затем замедлил ее и разрезал на части. Добавил фирменный бас Moog. Вы слышите результат.

Как вы думаете, стоит ли выпускать полную версию?
