On Crimson Tide, on the other hand, I just went in and within seconds I knew what I wanted. #Quote by Hans Zimmer

#13. When I first started making ambient music, I was setting up systems using synthesizers that generated pulses more or less randomly. The end result is a kind of music that continuously changes.

#14. There were some low moments out there on the road tonight - abandonment and what's the point? - but then I pulled in a radio station from Albuquerque playing historical rap and breakdance circa 1982. Kurtis Blow and disco synthesizers made me feel like I could drive all night. #Quote by Chris Kraus

#17. I'm interested in finding sounds and ideas that help bring the audience into the world that we [moviemakes] are all trying to create. Sometimes that's with synthesizers, and sometimes that's with French horns. I love using all of them, depending on the scenario. #Quote by Joseph Trapanese

#20. I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel.

#21. I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets. #Quote by Steven Tyler

#22. Working with devices and guitar pedals and mixers and synthesizers is what I do, and I prefer people not focus on that because it's kind of distracting from what the point should be. At least for me, it's to have the primacy of aurality in the experience of that evening. #Quote by Tim Hecker

#23. I'm really not into the idea of just faking songs with a synthesizer. That just isn't the music I'm making at all. #Quote by Hamilton Leithauser

I love a lot of electronica because I love programming synthesizers. #Quote by Sir Mix-a-Lot
