In this profound and reflective short feature, legendary composer, synthesist, and music innovator Anthony Marinelli opens up about the true value of knowledge, mentorship, and character in the creative journey.
Speaking with humility and warmth, Marinelli reflects on how a single five-minute conversation with the right person can equate to an entire semester at a university. He recalls the extraordinary wisdom passed down from luminaries like Quincy Jones, and how deeply personal growth and human connection shape not only one’s music but also one’s life.
“Your music can only be as good as the person you are,” he shares—a philosophy rooted in the teachings of Nadia Boulanger, passed through Quincy, and now echoed by a generation of modern creators.

In this powerful short reflection, David Mash — renowned educator, synthesist, and former Senior Vice President for Innovation, Strategy, and Technology at Berklee College of Music — shares a profound insight into the soul of electronic instruments.
Why do some synthesizers and guitars feel alive?
Dr. Mash explains that it's not just about modeling the oscillator or the filter—it's about how these components interact, and how they respond to the human touch. Without capturing that interplay, the essence of the instrument is lost. It’s in that nuance where the heart and soul of music resides.
