Sample it, the art form of the producer, the instruction of the DJ. Make fresh that ancient funk bass line, that jazz trumpet riff, that grandma's voice from a 1940s recording. We have evolved into a sample society: free trials, demo editions, first chapters available on Kindle.
Scientists too sample soil, blood, water, air. The element that speaks for the entire, small amounts symbolizing bigger realities. Let me taste that; it is try, experience without obligation. Sample the soup, the playlist, the way of life before completely immersing yourself in it.
But sampling always leaves you wanting more, it's intended to, whether it's music, food, or possibility. The sample is just the hook that pulls you further; it is never the whole narrative.
