It's unbelievably deep... and it sounds incredible. —Rich Costey, producer, engineer, mixer

Kyma allowed me to modulate and morph my own voice into other sounds... It was in the ambience of the film itself, almost as if only the idea of Nemo was out there, tormenting his father. —Gary Rydstrom, sound designer, Finding Nemo

Pour un compositeur, c’est comme être Dieu. —Véronique Robert, "Des inventions qui vont changer nos vies", L'actualité, Montreal
