Robert A. Moog passes away.

[illusionofjoy]

From the Associated Press:

Robert A. Moog, whose self-named synthesizers turned electric currents into sound, revolutionizing music in the 1960s and opening the wave that became electronica, has died. He was 71.

This guy is responsible for most of the music I love. Without him, Pink Floyd would have sounded like Led Zeppelin, the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange would have been a lot less interesting and you can forget about albums from Gary Numan or Kraftwerk.

Damn.
