Synthesizer innovator Moog dies at 71

http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/08/22/moog.obit.ap/index.html

RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- Robert A. Moog, whose self-named synthesizers turned electric currents into sound and opened the musical wave that became electronica, has died. He was 71.

Moog died Sunday at his home in Asheville, according to his company's Web site. He had suffered from an inoperable brain tumor, detected in April.

...

"The sound defined progressive music as we know it," said Keith Emerson, keyboardist for the rock band Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

I owned a Polymoog for awhile and worked with a Minimoog at University.

Keith Emerson still tours with a Modular Moog.
