I Had Been Building Electronic Musical Instruments

What Inspires Me Is Not So Much The Music As The Opportunity To Interact With Composers. I Think That Has Driven Everything I've Done.

I'm An Engineer. I See Myself As A Toolmaker And The Musicians Are My Customers... They Use My Tools.

I Was Never Worried That Synthesizers Would Replace Musicians. First Of All, You Have To Be A Musician In Order To Make Music With A Synthesizer.

Other Kids Went Out And Beat Each Other Up Or Played Baseball, And I Built Electronics.

My Training As An Engineer Has Enabled Me To Design The Stuff, But The Reason I Do It Is Not To Make Music But For The Opportunity To Work With Musicians.
