  • ​@daftpunk is one of the greatest electronic music acts that ever existed. Today the Professional Musicians React crew pay homage to these pioneers and listen to Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Reminiscing about the band after they announced their split in 2021, after 28 years of crushing it. They dig into this work of genius and try to solve the mystery of the sample that made the backbone of this tune. Who made the original and how far from the original do you have to go before the music is new?
    I'm @Jack Conte the CEO of @Patreon and one-half of the bands @ScaryPockets and @Pomplamoose.
    Joining me today are 3 of my best musician friends;
    Ryan Lerman, a professional guitarist the other half of @Scarypockets
    Theo Katzman, multi-instrumentalist and member of the band @Vulf
    Arianna Powell, a professional guitarist who has worked with Halsey and Black Eyed Peas.

    Discovery is such a good album. Daft Punk has a really uncanny ability to find great ideas, and refine those ideas even more, where that one idea can carry the whole song. One other song from Discovery is "Digital Love," which is based wholly on the intro of George Duke's "I Love You More" from the album "Master of the Game." The intro is such a great piece of music, but George essentially wastes it, as it isn't repeated or modulated at all in the song after the intro. Daft Punk found that golden nugget, and based a whole song on that small sample with an epic guitar/synth solo.

      I love this channel's content so far. Have watched about 5 of the videos, and plan to watch them all! Each time, at the end of the video, I think "Why aren't the women getting a word in edgewise?". I don't think it's on purpose, and I don't think Jack and the other men are doing anything "wrong" per-se, but it's getting suspiciously common in these videos. Maybe it's just indicative of the role and position of women in the music industry, STILL, even though it's the 2020s? That would be sad, if true. I dunno.

    Remember that Daft Punk came from the underground techno house scene in France and played many shows in the States before going big in the 1990s. They are sample heavy and partly created the French underground sound using choppy disco samples and filters. They made music on the grid for the club DJs so that they would play their tunes in the undergrounds. They were ahead of their time but heavily influenced by Detroit and house music from the 80s. 🔊❤️ love your take!

    The whole Discovery album where Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger is from, is a all-u-can-eat sample buffet... there are videos on youtube where you can listen to the original songs and the Daft Punk versions. Arianna mentioned their digging through old music to let these old songs [re-] shine again - the album name is Discovery for a reason I think! Plus: if you pronounce Discovery with a heavy french accent, it sounds like "Disco very" -> very Disco!

    I actually created a game show centered around samples, which I've named Life's Sample Pleasures; basically, I show a clip of the original recording, and contestants have to buzz in to guess which popular song uses that recording as a sample! I get into a lot of trivia about copyright law, lawsuits, and who has to give who credit. It's a whole lot of fun, and gives great examples of how samples can be a lot of things (lyrics, melody, rhythm, speech, sound effects). I also ended up making mini-games centered around guessing which are the songs we don't know are covers, covers that were translated to other languages, identifying songs within mashups, and trying to figure out which song Weird Al is making a parody of!

      I use to play a similar game - but the other way round - where I would ask people to name the original from a bunch of well know songs that sampled the original. As a former scratch DJ back in the days, some of my repertoire revolved around playing the originals and waiting for heads to turn when listeners recognised the "sample" from the original. They didn't know where it was from. Like an educational audio version of trainspotting!

    "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is built around a "bouncy" keyboard riff sampled from the 1979 track "Cola Bottle Baby" by the funk musician Edwin Birdsong.[4] In 2016, Birdsong said: "I recorded [Cola Bottle Baby] 30 years ago, and here come some guys from France. I asked them, 'Where did you find the music?' And they said, 'I was going through bins and it popped out.' ... I'm blessed and I continue to be blessed by opening my arms to God every day."[4] The track also features vocoded vocals.[5] It is set in the key of F♯ minor.[6]

      I personally feel like Homework and Discovery was Daft Punk taking music that shaped them and making it into their own thing they were inspired by from sampling them. Random Access Memories was them, in turn, working with some of those very original artists to create wholly new works that were all homages to all the things that shaped them in their youth, and presented in pretty much a similar fashion as the original works they sampled from. In essence, giving back what they took out. Perhaps for future 'Daft Punk' like musicians to do the same.
      I think it was really proved out by the sheer amount of folks who made whole tracks out of the Get Lucky teaser that released months and months prior to RAM releasing. There were so many remixes.

  • @OwensDrumming
    @OwensDrumming 2 роки тому +94

    I’m pretty sure the robot vocal thing was a talkbox on this song, not a vocoder. With a talkbox, you can get clearer consonant sounds because you’re actually speaking the words into a microphone and using your vocal tract to create them. Except instead of using your vocal cords to generate the sound, you use a synthesizer fed through a tube in your mouth. This allows the consonants to still sound human because your mouth is creating them as if you were actually speaking, but the sound is generated from an unnatural source, which makes it sound robotic. Vocoders tend to smear the consonants in an unnatural way that talk boxes don’t.

    • @Fastvoice
      @Fastvoice 2 роки тому +8

      Scary Pockets used a talkbox in their own version of this song so Jack knows about this very well. ;-) There's also a talkbox version by Lorenz Rhode on UA-cam. OTOH there are a lot of hints that Daft Punk really used a vocoder. You may hear the vocoder version of James Beckwith which is very near to the original sound. No problems with the consonants though.

    • @OwensDrumming
      @OwensDrumming 2 роки тому +2

      @@Fastvoice you could be totally right, but to me it sounds just like a Talkbox with a DX100 or similar feeding it. Maybe with a bit of compression added too. Vocoders have this certain breathiness to them that I’m not hearing at all in this song. Also I’m pretty sure there was an interview years ago where they said they used a Heil Talk Box for this song. I know they use vocoders quite a bit in their music but HBFS doesn’t sound like it to me.

    On the topic of lyrics and melody, check out the history of hymnal music. There was a period where one book contained lyrics and a separate book contained tunes. Each was notated with what meter they fit.
    A song leader would then choose any pair of tune and lyric having the same meter and lead the congregation singing that combination.
    Basically congregations would memorize the tunes (4 part harmony) and then read the chosen lyric to sing.
    Some modern hymns are simply the most popular combination of tune and lyric from that period.

    Both are new songs and i have to say im not a coldplay or imagine dragons fan and never really liked their pop songs but these 2 songs are just phenomenal... especially Coloratura..man i just cant get enough of it its like the kids of all the Pink Floyd members formed a band

    As Theo said, as long as it was credited there was no theft. They are essentially doing what Scary Pockets does, using other people's songs and changing it up. You however always credit and I'd imagine you pay a service to use those songs. If daft punk pawned this off as there own, they stole it. Great discussion guys and everyone seemed to be very informative.

    As there are such things as formant filters, the descriptions of the vocoder is off in the video. A vocoder dosn't work with ferments but bands. But if the modulator is a voice it will have formant characteristics, but if it's drums it won't. Different vocoders have different numbers of bands, the more bands to closer the it will sound to the original modulator. Each band is assigned to a band pass filter, which funnily enough the video started discussing with the intro. But that was one band pass. A vocoder may have 11 or 22 or any number of band pass filters assigned to a different frequency range,

    I discovered your channel tonight and have been binging. This is a fairly old video but I'll post a question anyway. At what point does a sample like this change from sampling and using melody to sampling a sound that sounds like the melody. In this case it could be argued that the faster stronger part isn't a melody but an instrument. As far as I know you can't copyright instruments and/or sounds in the way that anyone is free to use a Steinway grand on their recordings. At what point does harder, faster become a Steinway?

    Hi, I’m a big fan of this channel… you guys are doing a great job. I was watching the daft punk video and listening you talking about copyright infringements. I would like to know your opinion about this Adele song called “Million Years Ago”, released in her 2015 album, and the almost 90% resemblance with “Mulheres”, from the Brazilian songwriter Toninho Geraes. Actually I think he is already suing her for that. I think this is related to the daft punk discussion, and it happens all the time, specially now, that we have a much more global multicultural music industry. Thanks guys!

    Also, very happy you guys reviewed HBFS! Daft Punk has always enjoyed sampling songs. However, some samples are so small and minute that they don't credit it, and it enables fans to look for them and find them; samples in the song Face To Face have been discovered as recently as a few years ago! Bonus fact: in their last album (RAM), Daft Punk only used 1 sample, at the beginning of their song Contact. Everything else is 100% original!
    Stay funky and keep it low volume!

    This was great but guys, you gotta make sure guests are given ample time to speak their minds. Arianna maybe put two whole words in the entire video. Granted, not everyone has an opinion for everything all the time, but the guests should be made to feel like they are encouraged to speak during these segments. Its hard to chime in when 3 people are bouncing ideas around. Also try to be a bit more wary when it comes to talking over each other, it breaks the experience having to go back and hear what people are saying. Overall its beautiful content and super insightful. Keep it up
