The Janus Sample Directory

In today´s musical world, the concept of samples is increasingly gaining importance. Although the concept of musical quotes is nothing new in music - twoexamples: Richard Wagner quoted passages from his opera Tristan in his Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Anton Webern included a motiv from Johann SebastianBach´s Kunst der Fuge in his Orchesterstücke - only modern recordingtechnology made the "theft" of recorded musical material for re-use in otherworks possible.

The Janus Project is no exception from this practice. So here it is -the official list of sample sources for the Janus Project. Be advised that it is in mostcases highly recommended to check out the sources itself - so have fun with this greatsource of material !
