Turntable, musical instrument?? video 2

Alright folks, now then, with regards to the video on our turntables, musical instruments, the actual debate is getting quite constructive, it's quite good. But now here's a factor, here's a pointer, a lot of people, a few people have said that they're not. Now I personally think they are, alright? Again you can call me a muppet if you want to, but think about it, an instrument... Play it to make music, okay? So you're actually manipulating and you're using that instrument to play music. Trombone, trumpet, you're doing that to make music. Alright, now then, look at it from this point of view. A turntable. Let's say you get a record and on that record there's loads of sounds, etc. But all of a sudden you find one tiny sound. Say something in the key of C.

Now then, try and find these videos and post them underneath as a video response so other people can see where I'm coming from. Now then, if you can get that tiny segment of sound, just that, you know, like so, okay? What you need to do then, if you can think about this, I have seen DJs, what they've done is they've sped up that tiny sound, like so, they've utilised the pitch control, and by using that one tiny sound, they've been able to make a complete melody. Now on that basis, the turntable is a musical instrument because they're making the turntable, they're actually utilising the turntable to make music. Now that is my policy, that's my sort of idea on it. Now what do you think? Practice and enjoy.
