Ludovico Einaudi Quotes

I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

At the beginning of this album I discovered the computer and had great fun playing with the thing. And I realized that, not being a good keyboard player, I could write things in very small sections, give them a certain feel and mess about with bends on the keyboard.

I like tinkering with the tribe beat boxes and love using Reason as a beefed up beat box.

Electronic music used pure sounds, completely calibrated. You had to think digitally, as it were, in a way that allowed you to extend serial ideas into other parameters through technology.

I'm pretty much fully digital. I've basically spent a few painstaking days putting sounds into my laptop, just banking them, because I love playing, and I love visually seeing it on my screen and being able to change the sounds more, with different plug-ins. I've created my own synth sounds.

There is nothing wrong in electronic music or synthesised music.

A young musician needs a powerful laptop and a good analogue synthesiser.

I don't do that much sampling. I create all my own sounds.

I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. But I do love the rigidity of electronic drums.

I agree with the rest of the band, that a truly synthesized sound isn't really what I would want to go for.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

There's a confusion sometimes with the laptop being the current tools and where electronic music initially comes from.

For my second record I had gotten ProTools (program) and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.

Somebody gave me this drum machine and somebody else asked me to program something for a project. I really liked programming and I was really interested in using the drum machine.
