"These techniques, refined via the use of computers and digital audio equipment, are now standard amongst producers of electronically-based music."
I've put a 'citation needed' tag after it. If it was worded:
"This approach is in principal very similar to modern-day sampling, via the use of computers and digital instruments, a process so widespread that it is now used frequently in production of all kinds of music," it would be fine.
The way it's currently worded implies that this album influenced sampling. I'm not saying that it didn't, just that someone needs to find a good reliable quote that says it did, or else reword it so that it's merely highlighting the similarities. It's mainly the "are now standard" part - producers of "electronically-based music" actually don't often sample from live sessions at all. It does happen, but the main point here should be that the process on this record was essentially what we today call sampling. I hope that makes sense...

Fair use rationale for Image:Miles Davis on the corner.png
Image:Miles Davis on the corner.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is no
explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the
boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with
fair use.
Please go to
the image description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at
Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
RfC: Revisions to paragraph attributed to Gluck's book
I have taken the liberty to boldly close this RFC.My advice to both
Acousmana and
Dan56 is to work out the differences on the talk page without un-necessary display of un-warranted heat.Re-open this RFC only iff mutual discussion has failed completely.

"Davis was first introduced to Stockhausen's work in 1972 by collaborator Paul Buckmaster, and the trumpeter reportedly kept a cassette recording of the 1966–67 Hymnen composition in his Lamborghini sports car.[PopMatters source] Some concepts from Stockhausen that appealed to Davis included the electronic sound processing found in Hymnen and the 1966 piece Telemusik, and the development of musical structures by expanding and minimizing
processes based on preconceived principles—as featured in Plus-Minus and other Stockhausen works from the 1960s and early 1970s. [Gluck source]"Dan56 (

IMO, my
original addition is more faithful to what Gluck outlined in his book (copied below). There's also no mention of Buckmaster, who Acousmana mentioned as a source in his revision.

"Davis had found at least two concepts of interest in Stockhausen's work: the electronic processing of sounds, present in Telemusik (1966) and Hmnen (1966-67), and formal structures created through rules-based expanding and subtracting processes, found in Plus-Minus and related works created between 1963 and 1974. Thus, the concept of layering, of adding and subtracting musicians and sounds, drawn from Stockhausen's compositional ideas provided a conceptual framework to construct gradually changing active participants and thus sound densities. This structure allowed Davis to square concepts of jazz performance, contemporary art music composition, and, as Veal points out, beat-driven dance music to create On the Corner." (
Gluck, pp. 107-8)

Accusation of OR/synthesis is false.For an in dept comparison between Stockhausen and Davis's process approach see p.511 in Bergstein, Barry 1992, "Miles Davis and Karlheinz Stockhausen: A Reciprocal Relationship" (The Musical Quarterly 76, no. 4). For Buckmaster comment, see Gluck p222, footnote 32, clearly states Davis credited Buckmaster with introducing him to Stockhausen's work. See also
here (which we cite): “It was Stockhausen which so totally caught his attention...He obtained a cassette copy of Stockhausen’s Hymnen and found that piece most intriguing. I saw, in fact, that he had that cassette in his Lamborghini Miura…” Re: Stockhausen's "process music" -
Plus-Minus is a "polyvalent process composition" (Kurtz 1992, 133), see also Griffiths, Paul. 2001 under the entry "Aleatory." See again Gluck p222, where is he states "process approach." For more on Stockhausen and his
process music see Nyman, Michael 1999 p.22, Landy, Leigh 2013 p.87 etc. We have an entry on
process music so we should link to it so our readers can better understand what's being discussed.

I don't see how any of this contradicts the above or what was written; like you're not making any sense brahhhh. I also don't see how you cited any of this in your edits; "process music" is already linked in this paragraph; there's nothing in Gluck's book about Buckmaster explaining what concepts of Stockhausen's that Davis was drawn to (which is what you wrote in your revision). Also, please read up on how to conduct yourself as a Wikipedian. You can't just force changes down everyone's throats and trying to justify them with nothing but declarative statements in your edit summaries reverting to your preferred revision, as I've seen in the edit history you do before (
[1],
[2]). Your changes to existing content were disputed; at the very least you could've of started a discussion, since it's you challenging it, instead of reverting again and again (
WP:BRD). And
don't lie; you can see clearly that I provided a citation for what you irrationally keep challenging in the lead (
even when material already verified in the body doesn't need to be cited again in the lead, leaving me with no such burden, no matter what you may think) Why don't you find a citation to prove Davis didn't play his trumpet scarcely on this album, since you seem so hell bent on disputing the idea that he did...

tip, limit your grievance to content, not editors, accusations of OR and lying distract and are pointless when it's clear you've not examined sources closely. As for trumpet use, read Teo Macero in Jarret, Michael 2016 p143-144, the trumpet is there, he used three mics to record it, it was amplified, wah-wahed, processed, and extra edits were dropped-in in post. Black Satin is entirely trumpet driven so to say Davis abandoned the trumpet on this album is false. There's trumpet allover the album, processed, used rhythmically, imitating percussive timbres, to claim otherwise is ignorance and misses the point of what Davis and Macero were doing and especially misses the influence of Stockhausen.

Um, so fucking cite it?? if you seem to already have the information, instead of adding a pointless verification tag :))))

it's evident - what with you listing a vote based RFC for a two editor content dispute - that this suggestion is disingenuous.

Comment: it looks like you have enough sources and information already to produce an improved paragraph together for the benefit of readers. Why not do that on the talk page, then transfer it to the article when it's been done?

Comment: I have been pinged as "resident Stockhausen expert" to comment on this discussion. It does not seem to me that the differences between these two versions has anything to do with Stockhausen as such, but rather on either (1) interpretation of the wording found in sources or (2) failure to cite sources for specific claims (e.g., Buckmaster's role). I do wonder what work or works Gluck may have had in mind when he gives 1974 as the end-point for Stockhausen's "rules-based expanding and subtracting processes", but his footnote is not included in the GoogleBooks preview. Nevertheless, that year is the one given in the source, whether it is meant to refer (inaccurately, for this purpose) to Atmen gibt das Leben or Tierkreis. I have taken the liberty of removing the link to
Digital signal processing, which has absolutely nothing at all to do with the transformational techniques Stockhausen used in either Telemusik (1966) or Hymnen (1966–67). Apart from this small quibble, I agree with
EddieHugh: work out the differences on the talk page. I do not understand what is generating the degree of heat displayed in the above discussion.—
