Eric Avery Quotes

The music technology scene is changing so fast it's hard to keep up.

I've been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology.

Everyone making electronic music has the same tool kits and templates. You listen, and you feel like it can be done on an iPad. If everybody knows all the tricks, it's no more magic.

I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.

Music is composed on computers and other electronic equipment; producers don't want to spend money on orchestra.

I've always had a fascination about mixing music. So I downloaded an application and started messing around with it, and it just built up from there.

There was this cereal, and it had a special promotion with a CD inside the box that had a really simple music-making program on it. I got it, and that opened my mind to being able to make music on a computer and seeing all the different layers.

I was nine, and I was shopping in a supermarket with my dad. There was this cereal, and it had a special promotion with a CD inside the box that had a really simple music-making program on it. I got it, and that opened my mind to being able to make music on a computer and seeing all the different layers.

No one has bridged that gap between music and technology yet.

The computer has always been this ominous, scary thing that came into music, for me, in the early '90s, right when I first started playing music.

Guitars, there was rock 'n' roll. Saxophone, jazz. Now we have the computer and there's this electronic thing happening in music that is somewhat superhuman.

And EDM music grabbed my ear and got my attention and I started realizing that the computer was, in the same way that the saxophone was invented in the late 1800s and guitar in the 1930s, an instrument.

When I first started out, I was making really slow, psychedelic ambient music because it was all I could do.

Sampling is kind of prehistoric, given the technology and the textures you can create.

I've always had a deep passion for a lot of early electronic and sampled music.

The art of DJing is sharing music with one another... The technology's definitely taking it into a new direction to where it's really becoming performance-based.

Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.

Computers and electronic music are not the opposite of the warm human music. It's exactly the same.

My brother makes beats, and I DJ.

I started making remixes for every specific girl I wanted to date. That's how I learned how to use Pro Tools, and then I started making my own music.

You can't really imagine music without technology.

My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.

Music's always been at the heart of Apple. It's deep in our DNA. We've sold Macs to musicians since the beginning of Macs.

People have taken technology so far, to the point where music is almost sterile these days.

I would get out of school and go straight to my computer to create beats.
