Plunderphonic Paradise by Vrey Is Grey

I've always wanted to make a song that almost uses exclusively samples from other songs. I downloaded charts from the Rock Band games to look at the stems and multitracks that came with them, and I would use them in my songs.

I know it sounds silly, but this song is the byproduct of me honing this skill for about a few years, although I'm not just playing with Rock Band or Guitar Hero stems. I'm playing with any song that has stems, or even any song or piece of music at all and putting them all into one song.

The idea came to me again when I started watching instructional drum videos. From there, I thought it would be brilliant to reinvigorate this sampling idea I had and use them in this song. And the rest is history!

(Album coming out sometime this spring or summer...)
