+    The concept of constructing a new sound by arranging collections of smaller
+    sonic events has gained popularity in the past 30 years through the
+    introduction of ``Granular Synthesis''. Granular synthesis works on the
+    theory that any sound can be described through the arrangement of smaller
+    samples (reffered to as ``grains'')~\parencite{itgs1988cr}. This allows
+    for the decomposition of real-world samples, 
+
+    What is granular synthesis?
+
+    How does concatenative synthesis build on this?
+    Uses large databases of audio and a unit-selection algorithm to produce results. - CS the early years
