how to become an analog wizard?

2009-01-24 by Monroe Eskew

Some questions for Peter--

I'm wondering what kind of backgrounds the proprietors of electronic  
musical instrument businesses have.  I see that you got your education  
in music and worked for years in high-tech industries, right?  How  
does this compare to other well-known wizards such as Robert Moog, Don  
Buchla, Dieter Doepfer, Bob Williams?  Do you think an electrical  
engineering degree would be helpful, invaluable, creatively hindering,  
largely useless, or what for this line of work?  Would you say that  
designing modules is more about solving math problems or  
experimentation?

Just curious,
Monroe
