By the time I got to building synthesizers, I had perhaps 20 years experience building electronic musical instruments.

To those of you who are wearing ties, I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off.

Everything has some consciousness, and we tap into that. It is about energy at its most basic level.

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.

I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers... They use my tools.

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.
