- The output I am submitting for REF2021 is a book-length study about the history of digital sampling and music technologies. The book is around 80,000 words long. The first three chapters focus on the Fairlight CMI and the E-mu Emulator, which involved archival research and 12 interviews with their designers and distributors. I also interviewed 19 users; the four chapters in the second half of the book contain case studies of contemporary artists and producers who use digital sampling technologies. The research was conducted over a ten-year period with the majority of the writing done between 2014 and 2019.
