Video: Herbie Hancock & Quincy Jones demonstrating the Fairlight CMI

Filed under: the latest, Video - =lloyd= @ 11:45 am

Geniuses at work: Herbie Hancock shows his Fairlight CMI synthesizer to Quincy Jones, back in 1983!

What is the pen-controlled touchscreen rocking the sequenser? Looks futuristic, in a cute kind of way, doesn’t it?

Pricetag: around €40.000.

  4. “An axe is a tool, an axe can be a tool to to cut wood to build a house, or can be a tool to slaughter your neighbour.
    The same way a synthesizer can be a tool to hurt people’s ears and interfere with their lives, or can be a tool to make a good and nice-sounding instrument that can affect people in a positive way.”

    love that!
