Kanye West- Stronger (Daft Punk Sampeling)

This is an example of a hip-hop song using sampling from Daft Punk a successful electronic band well known for their techno beats. Kanye West has been very successful with sampling music to create new beats for a new and growing genre of music.  Music connects the world from Paris to the USA and everywhere else.

Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness ft. MGMT

Here is an example where MGMT worked directly with a hip-hop artist, Kid Cudi. Hip-hop is a modern trend and very successful genre of music, there is no denying this. Modern artists often are influenced by modern trends to some extent. In a modern world, music and art both are progressing.

Opposite of Adults: Chiddy Bang

In a sampling (Wikipedia gives an accurate definition of the word and its intended use HERE.) of Kids by MGMT, Chiddy Bang created Opposite of Adults. Sampling is a very common method of creating beats in modern Hip-Hop music.

MGMT

MGMT was one of the bands on the poster from the previous post. Here is one of the bands most famous songs, Kids.

This song actually relates  to Gauckler's work quite a bit. Her work has many cute monsters, giving it almost a childish charm. The song above is about monsters and children so it ties in nicely to her work. This again gives an example of how well music can relate to art and vice-versa.  

Poster for Music Festival by Gauckler

This poster is just one example of how music and art can often go together. Art can compliment music and music can inspire art.
