Sing is one of my all-time favorite Four Tet songs, mostly due to the genius sampling. I decided to make a sample breakdown video to show you how deceptively complex the song is.
There are so many minor variations in each sample that this breakdown is pretty much a simplified overview. Trying to recreate this song exactly is near impossible, as the main loop is not quantized and some of the samples are played at random.
You can watch Kieran make the track in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEUGilncRJs
