I started talking with the engineers there and began to learn about the underlying tech- nology. "Eventually, I became a con- sultant there and continued con- sulting with instrument designers." In the early '80s, Berklee asked Mr. Mash to help develop a new program with a new major that would teach students about syn- thesizers and contemporary methods of making music elec- tronically. In 1983, he designed the mu- sic synthesis major, which now has more than 200 students. After chairing the department for five years, the college asked him to integrate technology throughout Berklee and promot- ed him to assistant dean. He has worked in this role over the past five years, and continues con- sulting, performing and compos- ing. They both started as children. Besides developing manuals, he has written books on his fa- vorite subject — Macintosh Mul- timedia Machine and Computers for the Music Educator. On a personal level, he is thrilled that he can now compose by keying note commands into the equipment and almost in- stantly hear the sounds played back, no longer forced to wait un- til he could get a band to perform what he has written. "There are a lot of new fields that have opened up as a result of the technology," said Mr. Mash, explaining that today's equip- ment is user friendly, gearing in- struction toward what the computer can do instead of how to use it. "It's very difficult in contem- porary music to earn a living as a keyboard player if you're not playing synthesizers as well as piano. "The technology allows musi- cians to have access to a whole host of sounds which are beyond those of traditional keyboard in- struments and actually is kind of an expected component of what a keyboard player does in live performances these days." Both mother and son have spouses who enjoy listening to their music. Among Mrs. Mor- gan's blended family of five chil- dren, Mr. Mash is the only one devoted to music. His two young daughters are just beginning in- strumental studies. Currently, Mr. Mash assesses what is going on in the musical professions and how musicians are using technology to produce
