Herbie Hancock jams with his Fairlight CMI while Quincy Jones looks on (1983)
Herbie says:
These instruments were designed for people to use. For people to use. You know, it’s just a tool, another tool, the way an axe is a tool. An axe can be a tool to cut wood to build a house, or it could be a tool to slaughter your neighbor. The same thing—a synthesizer can be a tool to really hurt peoples’ ears or interfere with their lives, or it can be a tool to make a really nice-sounding instrument that can really effect people in a positive way. It all depends on the person that’s using it.
