"David Gibson's Groundbreaking work is a real eye-opener for all of us, music professionals and casual listeners alike. He has single-handedly rethought the whole metaphor for the visual representation of recorded music and conjured up a brand new way to interact with it. It's high time we took a new look at the antique user interface employed by typical MIDI and sample editing tools - and this book and video series is a great place to start."
- Thomas "Dolby" Roberson
