"It was an honor for me to interview John Chowning who is directly responsible
for the way we create music today in every genre! His visionary ideas have
profoundly shaped contemporary music creation, including the integration of
computers, AI, digital synthesis, sound sharing, and surround sound.
He stands as a monumental figure in 21st-century music, renowned for his
pioneering contributions as a composer, musician, and educator. As the founding
director of the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at
Stanford University, Chowning made groundbreaking strides in the field. His
historic discovery of FM synthesis not only became one of Stanford’s most
valuable patents but also paved the way for Yamaha’s DX7 synthesizer through
their licensing of FM sound synthesis technology.
Another important aspect of Chowning's work is the simulated motion of sound
through physical space creating an illusion of a continuous 360-degree space
using only four speakers. John’s boundless curiosity and groundbreaking
achievements have established him as a bright shining beacon of inspiration for
musicians everywhere."
