"I consider Anthony to be probably the greatest living sound designer synthesist on the planet. He has the greatest collection of instruments, but more importantly he knows how to get inside them and think like them and turn them into human voices. I think he's amazing and I think you're gonna learn a lot from his course, so listen to everything that he says."

If you have an opportunity to learn from Anthony, do it."

"Anthony, I was so excited to hear about your synthesizer course. I remember watching you work on some of your early movies and the way you mastered the technology was just wonderful. You didn't let the technology get in your way, you could apply it right away to the emotional content of the music, the dramatic element of the scene."
