A Quote by Gemma Chan

I was given a lot of homework: I had to practise ironing as a synth, practise washing up as a synth, cooking a meal as a synth. It's definitely the most prep I've had to do for a role.

I bought this Oxygen midi synth from a flea market in Boston for $10. And then I found a cord in my house that fit it, and so I just started using that to do synth stuff in GarageBand.

Clairo

If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.

Daisy Berkowitz

I was really into what is called "minimal synth" - music made strictly on analog synths, and also cold wave, basically a more synth-based version of European post-punk, at that point. So, I decided my own show Minimal Wave was a good way to combine the minimal electronics aspect with the "wave," where guitars come into play.

Veronica Vasicka

Oftentimes the most produced and synth-tastic songs are the ones that end up sounding the best acoustic.

Emily Haines

The 'Hey Monday' songs were always glammed up to be this big production, and I definitely want there to be some bells and whistles like synth or drum loops, but for the most part, I want a simple yet powerful production.

Cassadee Pope

It's just not an image I had ever put out about myself - the bedroom synth guy. The whole thing seemed ridiculous.

Zach Condon

Legs' wouldn't be 'Legs' unless it had that driving synth bass.

Dusty Hill

Orchestras are not used to playing the kind of stuff jazz musicians like to play. It requires a lot of rehearsal and recording time, so it's much easier to do on a synth or sampler. So, we came up with that idea.

Eberhard Weber

I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything.

Grimes

I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.

John Frusciante

Just moving one keyboard or synth is a pain in the ass.

Prefuse 73

I released that side of things really as kind of an introduction to where I came from musically, back in the day when all I had was a keyboard, a drum machine, and a four-track. So I was doing these little synth-pop ditties, and it's how I learned to write.

Zach Condon

Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.

David Bowie

I'm just a sucker for new-agey synth sounds and instrumentation. I wasn't really thinking of soft rock, but I know that kind of quiet-storm format uses a lot of these sounds.
