Description

Digital Sampling: Exploring the Design and Use of Music Technologies This book provides an in-depth look at the development and application of sampling technologies in popular music since the 1980s. It delves into the early use of Fairlight CMI by artists such as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel, and examines how E-mu Systems' keyboards and drum machines influenced hip-hop. The second part of the book takes a broader approach, tracing the use of sampling technologies across various musical genres, including US/UK garage, indie folk music, and electronic music created from unusual sources. By drawing on interviews and concepts from Science and Technology Studies, Digital Sampling offers a fresh perspective on the study of sampling, making it an essential read for students and researchers in music technology, media, communication, and cultural studies. By exploring the intersection of music, technology, and culture, this book provides valuable insights into the creative processes behind some of the most innovative sounds in popular music.
