*ABOUT ANTHONY*

Anthony's musical touch as both composer and performer is connected with some of the most influential creative minds over the last 40 years. He’s composed and conducted original orchestral scores for over 80 feature films including _*Young Guns*_ , _*Internal Affairs*_ , _*The Man From Elysian Fields*_ , _*15 Minutes*_ and _*Planes, Trains & Automobiles*_ , been commissioned by the *Los Angeles Philharmonic* for his symphonic work "In the Family Way", written over one thousand TV commercials in a myriad of musical styles, co-founded Levels Audio Post (LA's premiere post production facility) and performed and arranged on big-box-office films and influential hit records such as *Michael Jackson's* _*Thriller*_ .

His extensive work as a young arranger, orchestrator and performer for *Quincy Jones* , *Jack Nitzsche* , *Lamont Dozier* , *Arthur Rubenstein* and *Giorgio Moroder* was vital in launching his own career. His early years pioneering modular analog synthesizers along with his wide-ranging music scholarship positioned Anthony at the center of the music technology revolution. He attended the University of Southern California School of Music as a piano and composition major.

One of the top 10 Best channel for Synths nerds on the yootewb. The very best wenn in comes to interviews.

[OdoSendaidokai]

WOW! Simply WOW ! Thank you for showing 🌻

[moogfooger]

A wonderful journey through time and synthesis Anthony. Yet again you lead the pack with your wonderful presentations! Thank you so much for showing us the real people behind the creativity. Cheers

[heathwellsNZ]

What an absolute privilege! I could watch and listen to hours of these amazing educators talking about their lab and what they are doing there!

[paintedfoxes]

your channel is by far one of the most interesting to watch. I love everything ive seen on this channel so far. love it

[TheCircuitSymphony]

Again, thank you so so much for this insight!

[Jamyangshouseoffoley]

I think wave field synthesis is some of coolest work these guys are into. Understanding the propagation coefficients means you can do this synthesis with fewer drivers but still create very realistic sound fields. It’s as if the walls disappear, versus sound from point sources. Super cool.

It is nice to have a university with big endowment and famous people in the field in your faculty list, going back a few generations.

I appreciate the enthusiasm and sense of privilege these faculty members have. Not everyone has that sense of perspective.

Thanks for another special video. Like other long ones, I had to find the right time to get through it. As usual, I am glad I managed, ten days later.

Thank you for the fantastic video, Anthony! A heartfelt tribute to Robert Chowning—ever since I first heard a live demonstration of the DX7 II FD in the '80s, I’ve always been fascinated by the origins of FM synthesis. However, in the early days, information wasn’t as easily accessible as it is today, and for years, I mistakenly believed that FM synthesis was developed solely by Yamaha. After countless years of wonder and joy with FM synthesizers - especially the Yamaha SY77 (a big bow to the engineers). Seeing and listening to Mr. Chowning feels like encountering a mythical figure -- but that is a recurring phenomenon on your channel 😮 I have watched your "Thriller" episodes numerous times—it is a pleasure to experience it all from the source.

History. Science. Music. Computers. Acoustics. Humor. This vid has it all. 🤌👏👍👌 Thanks!

[williamtell]

I am the proud owner of a DX5 and to be honest I absolutely LOVE the instrument. I don't really program it, it is a lot harder to program than a typical analog synth, but I have loads of patches for it, and it is just SO expressive. Lots of modulation options and a sound that you just don't get with subtractive synths, FM is awesome.

[lucaforcucciLFO]

Great ! From super booth to Stanford ;)

[moonstonewarlock]

What an awesome place! Thank you for a great video!

[rodrigoaquinoofficial]

Some humans lives in future. Thank you Mr.Chowning!

[olofmengede]

IN CRE DI BLE . OMG so interesting to watch. Thank you so much Anthony!!!

[alexnygren]

Love to see this..great content. Like to see the emancipation from the standard 2 channel stereo paradigm...the stuff happening here will one day make it to the masses in some form...like FM and the DX7.

[basmatine]

Hubby Bubba! What a facility! It seems like they got the right folks working there, the enthusiasm is palpable. Legend has it that the security booth benefits from surround sound and VR headsets instead of your typical security monitors, the gardener’s mower is acoustically treated and 100% silent, but sadly the janitor has to settle for conventional mops and buckets.

[albertdagobert]

Your passion and your research for excellence is always vivid in your videos, thank you, very inspiring :)
