After the immortals (Palestrina, Monteverdi, JS Bach, Mozart, Beethoven), come the geniuses like Schubert, Wagner, Handel, Miles Davis, Zappa, Schoenberg, Stevie Wonder, etc.

I love how he says that using a synth to replicate an (acoustic) instrument is missing the point. A 2600 will never do a trumpet as good as a trumpet. But it can make sounds we've never heard before, like the 'music in his mind'.

Oooooooooooh please give me the whole interview- I know which one it is, and I've wanted it for years!!

He performs Close to You, with his talk box.

Dude where did you get this? I know how to buy a licenced copy but it's about £100.

Please answer :D thank you!

Always mixed them up as a kid.
