Well, this one I'm personally really excited about! Had the pleasure of interviewing legendary musician, composer, producer and electronic music pioneer Gary Numan.
Synth History: Who were your personal music inspirations growing up?
Gary: When I was very young, pre teen age, I was a fan of The Monkees, but my first really big musical hero was Marc Bolan and T-Rex. I think the lifestyle he projected attracted me as much as the music. Then came Bowie, although I was quite late getting in to Bowie, but neither Bolan or Bowie were actually inspirational musically. I liked the music of course, loved it in fact, but they inspired in me the desire, through music, to do something different with my life. To make my life an ongoing adventure. To reach for things my friends, and teachers, seemed to feel were too far away, too unrealistic.
Synth History: Do you remember your first gig, what was it like?
