Michael Bierylo, chair of the Electronic Production and Design Department that Mash founded, noted that among Mash’s many contributions, “one of the most important is that he got this bright idea in the 1980s that every musician would be using technology and that the synthesizer was an instrument that deserved recognition and study as any other.”
“What a great honor,” Mash told those gathered, as he struggled to hold back emotions built up over four dedicated decades at Berklee. “Thank you very much.”
Since retiring, Mash has been busy composing and recording music, recently releasing a new album, Seasons, under his Mashine Music moniker.
