Thomas Dolby 1986 Interview on EM

click here for the interview. There is plenty of synth talk of course.

"I chose to use the largest part of the space for the control room, in order to accommodate my video equipment (a small Sony ¼-inch editing system, Fairlight CVI, and a large screen Barco projector over the mixing board) along with a large battery of electronic percussion (Emu SP12, Linn 9000, and assorted Simmons and PPG modules) and my new Fairlight Series III and Emulator II. I've never sold a keyboard, even my first two — a Micromoog and a Roland JP4 with which I recorded everything in 'She Blinded Me With Science.'"

I wonder if that is still the case.

  1. " It also appealed to me because I sensed that clean, glassy digital sounds would one day replace the grittier analog synth timbres."

    LOL, good read.

  2. Back when TechTV was good, they had a special on an Ebay dumper place, I dunno the proper name, but it's if you're too lazy to ebay things yourself.

    They showed Thomas Dolby selling his Jupiter 4.
