Steve De Furia

Employee of New England Digital Corp. who demonstrated the Synclavier to Zappa. Zappa Offered him a job operating the Synclavier.

"My first experience as a software designer was writing a set of composition programs for Frank Zappa. Those programs got me very deep into computer programming. Before that, I'd never really written any software."

— Steve De Furia, Sound On Sound interview, 1995.

"He taught me a lot about the Synclavier - and he actually wrote software that we used. In fact, I got switched over from copying to Synclavier because Steve really wasn't available for as much work as Frank wanted done. Steve wrote a column in Keyboard magazine after that for a while."

— David Ocker, The David Ocker Internet Interview, 1995.
