Can Music be Digitised? Samplers, Democratisation, and 'the Digital Age' (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Harkins, P. (2018, December). Can Music be Digitised? Samplers, Democratisation, and 'the Digital Age'. Paper presented at Music, Digitalisation, and Democracy

Rather than an abrupt or revolutionary shift from analogue to digital, I will argue in this paper that the use of digital technologies such as samplers have been part of a more gradual process of socio-musical change. As well as examining the argumen... Read More about Can Music be Digitised? Samplers, Democratisation, and 'the Digital Age'.
