Today, more and more pop is created not by conventional musicianship but by using samplers, digital editing software and other computerized tools to stitch together prerecorded sounds.
This discrepancy could be due to the removal of samples collected using passive samplers, which Vermeulen et al. (2010a) state were not used in their analysis due to an increased number of such measurements being below the detection limit.
With the Pittsburgh band Shockwave Riderz, which uses samplers and sequencers to elevate its trippy surf-rock-tinged songs to wild and swirling heights.
On a DJ table packed with strange bits of equipment – all set up by Kember with no assistance from roadies – he used samplers, drum loops, a turntable, mini keyboards and other mysterious noise-making machines.
Some of the most commonly used samplers are plankton nets and midwater trawls.
For these reasons, benzene monitoring is a relevant candidate as a proxy measure of exposure to air pollutants related to traffic and to gasoline uses (Aguilera et al. 2008); moreover, it can be assessed by passive air samplers, which are light and relatively simple (Cocheo et al. 2000).
The paper demonstrates the possibility to design small and low cost air samplers, which can be used as personal alarm dosimeters and fulfill the requirements mentioned above.
In those cases, sampling could be improved by using more elegant samplers, such as elliptical sampling (Murray et al., 2009).
By using these passive samplers, an atmospheric, time-weighted average concentration over an exposure period can be compared with exposure limits and compliance measurements through in situ calibration.
Blue Monday is New Order's ultimate gadget odyssey, using a Sumner's Powertran sequencer, an Oberheim DMX drum machine and an Emulator 1, one of the first samplers (which they tested by recording farts).
