MODERATOR: NED AUGUSTENBORG | PANEL: DON LEWIS, DR. JOHN CHOWNING, IKUO KAKEHASHI

Don Lewis takes a hands-on approach as he plays, shares and reflects on a variety of synthesizers he voiced and programmed. Joining Lewis will be the Dr. John Chowning (Composer and Father of the Digital Synthesizer) and Ikuo Kakehashi (musician/instrument designer and son of Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi).
