| | Such was the case for electronic music pioneer Robert Moog who in 1964 created the synthesizer, an instrument that converted, blips, bleeps and fuzz into bombastic bursts of layered sound that transformed modern music for decades to come. | | | Late in his life, as he battled a brain tumor, Moog must have taken solace in the fact that his seemingly meaningless instrument took the innocent genre of electronic music to incredible new heights leaving its creator a legacy complete with tribute albums, websites and musical exploration. | | | The Moog synthesizer was embraced early on by bands like the Beach Boys, The Beatles and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. |
