Jeff Harris, Audio Recording & Production instructor at The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences, discusses the Fairlight CMI, the history of sampling and using the Fairlight in the production of the original Tron.

Along the way, Harris offers some great historical and technical insight on the Fairlight CMI. If you’re interested in the history of electronic music, Harris’s lecture is a rare opportunity to hear about the impact of sampling from an early adopter.
