One of the world’s first digital recording systems: the Denon DN-023R (1972), an 8-channel system with 13-bit resolution at a sampling rate of 47.25kHz, which recorded onto Hitachi 4-head open-reel broadcast videotape in low-band (black & white) mode (it was cheaper & had fewer dropouts than colour) – seen here with Dr. Takeaki Anazawa, one of the system’s inventors.

Death of The Key Change

"So what is going on? Both of the shifts can be tied back to two things: the rise of hip-hop and the growing popularity of digital music production, or recording on computers."

I find it fascinating that cultural and technology changes have created a different soundtrack.

The explanation of the latter makes me a bit uneasy but also leads me to believe that additional advances could create another change.
