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.

I had been building electronic musical instruments since I was a kid.

One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music.

Other kids went out and beat each other up or played baseball, and I built electronics.

Part of what I do is a craft, but part of what I do is a science. And I guess the craft comes in knowing what science to use and what science not to use.
