by Employee 37
If you've listened to a piece of popular music written after 1970 the chances are good that you've heard a synthesizer in action. While the earliest synthesizers were invented in the late 1870s it wasn't until the 1960s that they started to became accessible to a typical musician. Analog Days chronicles the rise of electronic synthesizers and their socioeconomic role in music production. The authors focus heavily on the Moog Synthesizer and its inventor Robert Moog, who popularized synthesizers and standardized their production while pushing the boundaries of the technology behind electronically generated music. We have more books on Robert Moog and synthesizers, as well as some Moog Music instruments that you can try out too!
