Girl Talk Interview (clip 6)

The speaker reflects on their musical journey, starting with a love for hip-hop and sample-based music in the 80s and 90s. They were inspired by artists who manipulated familiar sounds creatively. This led to an interest in abstract, experimental electronic music, influenced by artists like John Oswald and Negative Land. The speaker admired how these artists used pre-existing media in subversive ways. They aspired to create music using sampling as a primary instrument, similar to Negative Land, and envisioned a project focused on collaging music, seeing it as equally relevant as traditional music-making.
