This paper debates the conception that phonographic records have a phantasmagorical characteristic, which is potentialized and actualized by sampling practices. To face such challenge, two main investigation movements become necessary: (1) to comprehend sampling as the root procedure of the type of musical communication with we are referring to; and (2) to analyze its logic of dissemination, investigating the unfolding that generates process of differentiation of a given phenomenon. In order to verify such process in contemporary sampled music, as case study, we chose the recent massive dissemination of Smash Mouth’s All Star remixes on the internet. This investigation points at a kind of a collaborative exploration of music’s virtuality as one of several effects of phantasmagorical communication activated by intensive sampling.
