Beschreibung | Robert Arthur „Bob“ Moog war ein US-amerikanischer Elektrotechniker und Erfinder. Er war ein Pionier der elektronischen Musik und der Erfinder des Moog-Synthesizers, eines der ersten weitverbreiteten elektronischen Musikinstrumente. |
Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet, or a painting, or a speech, that is perfectly done on more than one level.
To those of you who are wearing ties, I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off.
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.
The point is that I don't design stuff for myself. I'm a toolmaker. I design things that other people want to use.
I happen to think that computers are the most important thing to happen to musicians since the invention of cat-gut which was a long time ago.
