Kraftwerks first record came out in 74 and must also have been among some of the first electronic pop, I think that's probably one of the most influential records in that genre.

Autobahn wasn't their first album, I thought their first album was released in 1970.

Joe Meek was a pop producer. His space music album might count.

Yeah, that's right their first album Kraftwerk 1 was released in 71, before that they had a group called Organisation that released a record in 1970, so they were out pretty early. Søren |

Hmm, there's this one guy I'm thinking of, maybe Edward something, was the "grandfather of electronic music".. something about some World's Fair in the 50s.. can't remember anything, though.

I've seen two different spellings, my electronic music teacher (and historian) swears by the Edgar spelling. But if you insist.

Both of my Electronic Music teachers called him Edgard, as well as all three of my music history teachers. How do you like them apples? The sad thing is, I really did have that many teachers in each category. And all I have to show for it is...uh.

I must say, this is a great discussion. I have a real interest in electronic music, though I know very little of it.

We can talk about all the greats in here, from the earliest experiments with the theremin to the later excursions of space-age pop! Have at it, folks.

I don't think it would include trip hop or electronica. We're talking about electronic music as a division of classical. Electronic Sound by George would count, since it's all Moog music. Wendy Carlos' Switched-On Bach is another example.
Here are a few examples of electronic music performers/pioneers -
Bruce Haack
Raymond Scott
Kraftwerk
Brian Eno
Clara Rockmore (theremin)
Milton Babbitt
Edgard Varese
Steve Reich
Guys like them.

His tape music would count, yes. Steve Reich is there for the same reason.

Well, I'll say that I have and really enjoy the OHM collection, which covers a lot of the people mentioned above. OHMOn top of that, I have seen Hugh LeCaine's first synth, called the sackbut, dating from 1945.  More information HEREAs a science guy and a music guy, this world really touches both of my interests. |
