To split more hairs
, Scott wasn’t the only person that Stalling was lifting from.
It always bums me out that sometimes you get people talking about Ives when it comes to the history of sampling in music, but never Stalling. I know Stalling was working under some weird constraints with copyright, Warner’s back catalog, and synching to animation, but the man was doing sampling before it was called sampling. Sure, so were other people scoring cartoon music, but Stalling was really good at it.
