The list of winners at the Grammy Awards last weekend was unsurprisingly dominated by household names: Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish and The Cure, to name a few. But among this cast of superstars was another name that you may not recognize, belonging to someone equally influential: Dr. John Chowning.
Chowning is a composer, musician and professor that had a seismic impact on both the development of music technology and the sound of modern pop music, achievements that earned him a Technical Grammy Award at the Recording Academy's Special Merit Awards ceremony last weekend.
