Thanks for posting…was going to start a similar thread!

EBN aka Emergency Broadcast Network were pioneers of video sampling in the early 90’s. Check out their work here: https://www.youtube.com/user/EBNCONTROLSYSTEMS

Some of my favs:

Would love to see what these guys would do with current tools like EboSuite. Their original mixes were done by sampling & sequencing just the audio portion of video tapes, then going back and hand placing the video portions on a pro-sumer VHS to VHS editing deck…before digital video was a thing. INSANE. Their work changed my life.

wow that has blown my mind. i love that cutup style. i would be impressed to see that done with ebosuite now, let alone 20+ years ago!!! Their cuts are so on. i read that they did create a midi/video keyboard later on but doing it from VHS is genius when you think about how you would have to compose that with audio first. crazy.

another inspo vid from Hexstatic. I really like the composition of this eg where they are putting everything on the screen.
