In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill (Not a Jew) invented the telharmonium, the first electronic instrument to play music. It was a giant organ.

In 1920, Leon Theremin (Not a Jew) invented the theremin (wonder where he got that name from). It was much smaller, the size of a chair.

In 1950, Harald Bode (Not a Jew) invented the melochord, which was the size of a typewriter. (Remember typewriters? No?)

In 1964, Robert Moog (Jew) invented the Moog synthesizer (wonder where he got that name from). And then, six year later, a breakthrough: the minimoog, the size of a keyboard.

For that point on, electronic music became ever-present. And in the future? It's the human musician who will become obsolete.

Through moog to moot...
