I started playing piano when I was seven, after listening to my grandmother play by ear for years. I studied music at UCLA where I played analog Moog for awhile before discovering how to get sounds from a computer. That was in the 1960s. Soon after, Roger Shepard (inventor of that tone) became my mentor and enabled me to use the Stanford AI Lab to play with digital sound creation and do psychoacoustic research on it. Then that turned into cofounding CCRMA, the computer music center at Stanford, where I started digitally sampling orchestral instruments and engaged in analysis and resynthesis
