No, it really was Larry Fast, being interviewed on "The New Music" a
couple of years ago.  (TNM is a syndicated weekly magazine-format show
produced in Toronto by CITY-TV).  I'm sorry I can't remember names of
other people he came up with sounds for.

But, yes, Thomas Dolby did the same kind of work.  This seems to be a
growing breed-- you could refer to them generically as "programmers".
Martin Rushent has done a lot of this for Human League, while never
being considered part of the band.
