"I did extensive, extensive recordings and made a classical CD-ROM set, which is still on the market. For ten years, it was by itself as the cream of the crop of samples"
About this Quote
The phrase "still on the market" does quiet work. It’s a nod to longevity, but also to the weird afterlife of tools: musicians don’t just make art, they make infrastructure other artists depend on. Vitous positions himself as an early architect of the sample-library boom, before the space was crowded with competitors and marketing gloss. That "ten years" matters: in tech time, it’s an eternity; in music, it’s enough to become a default standard.
Calling it "cream of the crop" is blunt, almost unpoetic, and that’s the point. He’s speaking from inside a professional ecosystem where credibility is measured by results: how it sounds, how often it gets used, whether it holds up. Underneath is a small protest against disposability - the insistence that quality, once documented properly, can outlast trends.
