David Friend grew up in New York and made his first oscillator using a dual-triode vacuum tube at about age 8. Throughout his teens he built many more, especially after he could get his hands on transistors. At Yale, Friend double-majored in engineering and music composition and designed and built most of the Yale Electronic Music studio as a bursary job. While he was in grad school at Princeton, he got a call from the best analog designer he's ever met named Alan R. Pearlman who wanted to start a company to make synthesizers.
