On A Pale Horse

Remember MTV when they used to play music?
Remember what VJ's were?
Remember that they had 40 videos?
Remember that Herbie Hancock song 'Rockit'? We have Robert Moog to thank for that. Robert Moog is best known for being the pioneer of the modern synthesizer. The New York native schooled in electrical engineering and engineering physics was facinated with sounds at an early age and began selling custom 'spooky' sounding electronic instruments as a hobby.
His work has had a huge impact on music with groups like Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and the Beatles.


Mr. Moog passed away from brain cancer.

RIP
May 23, 1934 - August 22, 2005

Labels: 1934 births, 2005 August deaths, cancer, musician
