"The ‘80s was really a period when great changes occurred in terms of making music... When I made [Philharmony], a musical sampler called the Emulator was released and I bought one even though it was expensive. I was really excited. Sampling was an important concept at the time. The Emulator is an American product and Stevie Wonder got the first unit. It had serial numbers on it and mine was 060. I decided to record a whole album with it, and ––Philharmony was the result. When you listen to it, it sounds normal. The Emulator was a sampler, so it could sample live sounds. It was an interesting instrument then."

From his Red Bull Music Academy lecture, 2014.
