Dr. Robert Arthur Moog and Leon Theremin

In researching there two individuals I realized that they are two people I shoud've heard of a long time ago. Specifically Theremin as he developed interlace, which has been essential to video recording for many years now, although progressive scan has certainly taken over.

I found it interesting to learn that Bob Moog had his Ph. D in engineering physics, and also that he started his first company at the age of 19 creating Theremin kits. (Coincidence? I think not.) All in all I found it very revealing that these "fathers of electronic music" and the effects of their discoveries reach far beyond the realm of music.

Finally since we were asked to post some interesting synth music, I decided the "uber macho" (almost silly macho given their hard core eyeliner) Feuer Frei by Rammstein would be an interesting example of what perhaps maybe considered an atypical use of synth.
