Sampling involves recording or "sampling" a phrase or sound from an existing song and incorporating it into a new work. The theme from The Price is Right and songs by De La Soul and The Beastie Boys in the 1980s were some of the earliest examples of digital sampling influencing music by reusing sounds from previous decades. The song "La Di Da Di" by Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh is one of the most frequently sampled tunes due to its memorable and recognizable nature. Sampling allows generations of artists to preserve and build upon each other's music over time.

Career Artists Comparison (Joel+Vic)
Kanye West is an American rapper and songwriter who has been producing music since 1996. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time with over 20 million album sales. Kanye's music style and fashion sense have evolved significantly over his career from classic rap to incorporating more synthesizers and modern elements. Similarly, Limp Bizkit is an American nu metal band formed in 1994 that has sold over 40 million records worldwide. The band, particularly guitarist Wes Borland, have changed their fashion styles over the years while still producing organic music. Both Kanye and Limp Bizkit conform to theories of stars needing an ordinary and extraordinary public image.
conventions of indie rock
Indie rock bands typically have a casual style that reflects their relaxed music. Their style often includes black jeans, leather jackets, and checked shirts. While appearance is less important than creating good music, indie rock bands and artists usually have simplistic album covers and logos that are easily recognizable. The lyrics typically focus on everyday life and relationships and relate to any narrative music videos.
Cd covers
CD Covers play an important role in appealing to audiences and gaining new listeners. Artists must consider how to design their album covers to represent their music and stand out amongst competitors. Heavy metal albums often use black covers with dark imagery, while hip hop groups may incorporate bright colors and logos that match their eccentric style. Famous examples that matched their music through iconic cover designs include Marilyn Manson's use of Satanic imagery, A Tribe Called Quest's colorful collage of artists, and Nas' Illmatic featuring a childhood photo that captured the essence of his upbringing in Brooklyn.

Muller works with many top artists across genres but adapts her style to suit each project, sometimes making performance-focused videos or ones with a narrative element depending on the song.

Contrasting career artists
Taylor Swift began her career as an organic artist focused on songwriting and playing guitar, but transitioned to a more synthetic approach after 2012. She changed her music genre from country to pop, adopted a sexier image, and emphasized singles, videos, and merchandise over albums. This shift aligns with Keith Negus's distinction between organic artists who have freedom to develop naturally versus synthetic artists who are commercially focused with reconstructed images. Richard Dyer's theory of star images as incomplete also applies as Swift modified her image to appeal to broader audiences while maintaining her songwriting talents.

Digipaks refer to CD packaging that covers the front, back, and inside of the CD case. Usually the artwork features the artist or abstract designs carrying through the entire case.
