  • A Study of Digital Samplers in Two Eras
    On The Significance of Interface Design A Study of Digital Samplers In Two Eras A thesis submitted by Bjørnar Ersland Sandvik In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s degree in Musicology Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo November, 2016 Adviser: Ragnhild Brøvig-Hanssen II Acknowledgments The process of completing this thesis would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of people. First of all, I wish to thank my supervisor, Ragnhild Brøvig- Hanssen, for taking a genuine interest in my work, and being so generous with her time, guidance, and support. Her contribution has been absolutely invaluable, and I have appreciated our conversations, her detailed and constructive comments on all of my drafts, and her general encouragement throughout the process. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to present a draft of this thesis at the 10th Art of Record Production conference at Drexel University, Philadelphia in November 2015. I would like to thank the organizers of the conference, as well as the other participants for valuable feedback, inspiring paper presentations, and interesting conversations. A special thanks go to my co-student Emil Kraugerud, for being such a great travelling companion, and also to Associate Professor Hans T. Zeiner-Henriksen for joining us on a memorably day of sightseeing in New York. In addition, I want to thank the rest of my co-students for interesting conversations, important lunch breaks, and not least our short-lived but magnificent weekly ritual of celebrating “kakefredag” (cake Friday) at the university.

The print advertisement for the Side Man showed a quartet featuring an accordionist, guitarist, organist, and an attractive piece of furniture about the size of a hi-fi. Inside its wooden exterior, the Side Man relied on vacuum tubes and a motor driven wheel with electrical contact points to generate its sounds.
