 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Obituary: Dr Robert Moog
His synthesiser, which bears his name, revolutionised music from the 1960s onwards, and was used by bands like the Beatles and the Doors.
This was not always the case, and Moog was one of the pivotal pioneers of synthesised sound.
Although RCA had already built a musical synthesiser, it was a vast beast, and never intended for sale.

 Music of the 1960s
The 1960s, after all, were close in time (indeed, closer than we are to the 1960s) to the 1948 Zhdanov decrees (Stalin’s condemnation of modernism) and the cultural politics of Nazi Germany.
What the music on this program tells us about the 1960s, which rock music, television shows, political events, and the familiar icons do not, is the enormous and ironic debt the 1960s had to the very past it was trying to wipe out, to the power of historical continuities as opposed to ephemeral surface changes.
Future generations may, when they write about the 1960s, begin to recognize the traditions audible in today’s concert as characteristic of a decade whose revolution was founded on the knowledge that the inventive imagination can offer a critical response to the past that does not descend into nostalgia.

 Instructor Class Description
The Autumn 2006 edition of Music 575 is subtitled "Defining Minimalism," and focuses on the late 20th-century musical "movement" generally known as minimal or minimalist; some attention will also be devoted to its influence on European music of the past few decades.
We will examine the musical and broader cultural context within which minimalism arose, considering it from several different vantage points (aesthetic, stylistic, technical) as we trace its development and eventual decline (or, to put it another way, absorption).
In the process, it is hoped, members of the seminar will gradually arrive at a set of criteria to assess the extent to which "minimalism" is a useful and accurate characterization of music from, principally, the 1960s through the '80s, with some forays into repertoire both earlier and later.
