then the electronics revolution swept through every industry and art
form, including music. Bob Moog was a pioneer of electronic music and
invented the Moog synthesizer.

in New York City, earned a bachelor's degree in physics, a second
bachelor's in electrical engineering, and a PhD in engineering
physics.


Moog's
synthesizer, on the other hand, had a keyboard and buttons and
controls as well as some automatic sound generators and rhythms.

If
you have an electronic keyboard or other electronic instrument, play
a song today in honor of Moog. If not, check out this virtual piano
and these virtual drums.
I
love to set up a drum beat and then play on top of that. Here is a
virtual keyboard that allows you to do just that!
