Something To Think About

A violin is nothing more than a piece of wood and a dead cat. But it’s a piece of technology. So when computers came along, in the ’70s, I suddenly thought, hang on a second, this is interesting. These things can become an instrument. So I just became very interested in them, and started, playing with electronics.
